Report Date Title Report Source
06/10/1951 South West Scotland An unusual visitor at Dumfries on 3rd September, was 60160 Auld Reekie, which left light for Carlisle about 2 p.m. Another interesting engine was ex-GE 0-6-0T, 8562 on loan to Dumfries. Services on the Lockerbie Branch are now only two each way daily (4 on Saturdays) and there is a distinct possibility that passenger services will cease altogether in the near future. Coaling at Beattock is still done by hand, and this is a laborious business. Bunkers are not allowed to get too low if this can be avoided, and after about every second trip up the bank, engines return to the shed for coal. Banking is in the hands of McIntosh 0-4-4Ts and Pickersgill 4-6-2Ts, the latter being less favoured by the men. SLS/195112
21/03/1953 Eastern Region visitors Recent visitors include 61153 (39B) on an excursion on (21/3) and 60160 (64B) on (2/4) just ex-works and presumably borrowed by Doncaster while running in. 67785 (34B) has been seen on Hitchin turns lately, together with several Stratford L1s all on loan while the turntable at Hitchin is under repair.
