27005 Georgemas Junction
Having come up on the 0635 from Inverness in a pair with 37260, they obviously wanted the 27 to go to Thurso, but it was the second loco, so a complicated shunting puzzle took place to achieve this. It would have been much easier to take the 37 off, split the train and the 27 take the Wick portion forward! Seen here on the return at the head of 2K05, the 1200 portion from Thurso.
