Deltic Borderer
D9009 "Alycidon" is seen slogging up the final approaches to Falahill Summit (880 feet above sea level) on the Borders Railway on 09.04.16, while working the 1Z54 04.55 Derby - Tweedbank "Deltic Borderer" railtour. 67015 was on the rear to drag the stock back to Edinburgh later. The tour was delayed by about 5 minutes at this point having to wait to cross a late running ScotRail service from Tweedbank (a regular issue on the new line) which unfortunately meant the best of the sun was beginning to disappear again here, however I still think it makes for a pleasant monochrome shot. As a bonus, a black and white image also slightly helps to mask the mishmash of stock!
