Summary

[edit]
Description Dusk is falling at Rogart as a traction exchange takes place between the 1800 Wick to Inverness (37262) and its northbound counterpart, (27051) which had a freightliner flat as the leading vehicle. Due to a lack of 37s at Inverness, 27051 has found itself heading north, but control did not want it to reach Wick, arranging instead to swap it with 37262. Not the quickest loco exchange (and no worries about passengers at the trackside), but eventually the 27 restarted for the south. As darkness fell the McRat spluttered its way up to Lairg in around 70 minutes, never quite stopping, but probably mostly at under 10mph. Here a brake fault was rectified and we got underway at normal speed, but only as far as Tain, where 37017 backed on, the pair then completing the trip to Inverness, arriving just in time for the 'Internal', the 2350 to Glasgow.
