Pathfinder Scot
45106 streaks across the Strawfrank floodplain, just south of Carstairs, with the Reading-Edinburgh 'Pathfinder Scot' which would reach Edinburgh via Shotts (wish I'd driven across to the Shotts line to catch it again, can't recall why I didn't). In the distance is a southbound WCML service which has just performed the joining up manoevre at Carstairs once so commonplace. 20th August 1988.
