I had a change to take a trip to Garelochhead last night for a rare glimpse of a Deltic 55 diesel-electric loco.
This class operated on Britain's railways from the 1950's until the early 80's and this fine engine has brought out of retirement.

| With this section of line being single track, the deltic had to wait for the more modern engine clearing the line before she was able to proceed |
