66070 working 6K09 south in Upper Nithsdale.

            A route once awash with freight trains until the coal stopped in 2015, the G&SW route through South West Scotland sees no traffic at all some weeks now save for the sparse passenger service. With recent weekend track renewals at Johnstone there has been a steady flow of engineers trains on Saturdays and Sundays returning to Carlisle LDC. This route is set to get a whole lot busier with diverted freights from the 3rd March for two weeks with the major reconstruction of Carstairs Junction blocking the WCML.
Here 66 070 has just crossed over Garclaugh No.3 UWC in Upper Nithsdale between New Cumnock and Kirkconnel with 6K09 the 12.50 Glengarnock to Carlisle Kingmoor Yard. The train having originated at a worksite near Johnstone.
