60009 'Union of South Africa' at Bo'ness 6.5.19

May 06, 2019 • Leave a Comment

On Monday 6th May (May Day Bank Holiday), the service at the Bo'ness and Kinneil Railway was in the hands of A4 class 60009 'Union of South Africa', which was top and tailed with Caledonian Railway 439 class no 419. 60009 was used as it was visiting the railway, having hauled the previous day's SRPS Railtour to Aberdeen.

Unfortunately I couldn't stay to have a journey onboard, however I managed to get a few photos of the 11.25 from Manuel - Bo'ness and the 12.10 from Bo'ness - Manuel.

Due to the number of passengers wanting to get on board, an extra Mark 1 was brought out from the yard by 27001 and attached to the train prior to departing from Bo'ness on the 12.10 service to Manuel.
