Token offering

37191 waits at Tulloch as the driver on 37184 passes over the token for the stretch to Spean Bridge on 5th October 1983.

 

The token is exchanged with the driver of 37184, just arriving from Fort William on the 0840 to Glasgow Queen Street whilst 37191 waits for departure to Fort William with the 0550 from Glasgow. 37184 was taken to Dumbarton for a 303 to Glasgow. Can't think of any logical reason why I got off there except to save the walk from Queen Street to Central!

 

I then headed eastwards on a shove-set from Queen Street for some 27's on the Edinburgh - Dundee's and finally headed back to Liverpool on the 1805 ex Edinburgh which was hauled by 47703 (to Carstairs), 87011 (to Preston) and 47468 for the final part of the trip to Lime Street. This was the last day of a week long Scottish trip.

 

37191 was withdrawn in February 2001 after over 37 years service.

37184 was withdrawn in May 2000 and scrapped in September the following year.
