37153 Elgin 15th August 1996
37153 arrives at Elgin with 6H51, the morning service from Inverness to Aberdeen with 10 discharged PCA cement wagons heading back to Dunbar for reloading. At this time Elgin still received a number of commodities and was the hub for the wagonload traffic using the then new Enterprise network. A second service (6H55 0925 Aberdeen - Inverness) would arrive and they would swap traffic over before continuing on there way. Timber, coal and cement were the main commodities but many other products were tried for a few years until it all petered out. The area has been railfreight free for many years now.
