This LMS Stanier Black Five locomotive 44871 hauling vintage carriages is leaving Galashiels Station for Tweedbank Station on a trip organised by S.R.P.S. RAILTOURS. The train was hauled back to Edinburgh Waverley by a vintage diesel. The small trees on the left are becoming a problem for photography from this viewpoint.
