Stand well back....
26027 rumbles across the Forth Bridge with a southbound ballast train on 28th November 1984. This picture was taken during an official visit to the bridge arranged by the members of the Newcastle University Railway Society. Such visits were permitted at this time and on this occasion the main instruction from our guide was to "stand well back lads" whenever a train approached. There was very limited clearance as can be seen from this picture and, on the day in question, there was a strong and freezing wind gusting to 30-40 mph!!
