37219+37421 at Crawford37219+37421 at Crawford37219 top and tailed with 37421 head north near Crawford with 1Q74 Carlisle Wapping Sidings - Mossend via Ayr, Carstairs South Junction and Shotts 2.8.17 I headed out this afternoon to catch the Colas test train.   My intention was to catch it at Carstairs South Junction.

I headed there but as I approached, I saw 66731 heading round the curve at Carstairs East Junction.

66731 with 6S50 Carlisle Yard - Millerhill Departmental

The heavens opened shortly afterwards so I decided to head further south to Crawford to catch the Colas test train, which I did, closely followed by a 68/66 combo.
