Deltic Diesel Locomotive 55022 - Class 55 at Garelochhead Station


Deltic Diesel Locomotive 55022 - Class 55 at Garelochhead Station as she heads South working an Alcan Tank train tonight.

'Royal Scots Grey' as she is known, celebrated her 50th Birthday on 28 February this year.

Following a recent increase in business, GB Rail Freight has hired this locomotive to ease their problems.

I believe this is the first time such a locomotive has worked on the West Highland Line.

Interesting times.
