37694 "The Lass O' Ballochmyle" and 37212 at Falkland Yard

The pair of BR Coal Sector 37'3 are about to be connected to a train load of 30 HAA hoppers that had arrived into the yard earlier in the day from British Coal's opencast mine at Chalmerston. The locos will take the coal to Killoch, running as 6R44, where the HAA's will be detached. The coal will be washed and ultimately transported to the harbor in Ayr for shipment across the Irish Sea to Belfast. The 37's will collect the previous days "Drop" and take it to Ayr.

 

"The Lass O' Ballochmyle" was a song composed by the famous Scottish poet Robert Burns.
