Middle passing
LMS Coronation Pacific No 46223 "Duchess of Sutherland" passing the soon to be redundant Stirling Middle signalbox with the "75th Anniversary Special" express from Perth to Sheffield on 7th September 2013. Typically, these locomotives spent their long working lives hurrying similar, heavy expresses along this road. The historic semaphore signals are of Caledonian Railway origin and are doomed to be replaced with a new colourlight system. The re-signalling works are proceeding apace, so this is likely to be the final record, here, embracing such delightfully apposite subjects. (Please view F11 in lightbox for intended best.)
