Due to the Steam locomotives at Bo'ness being unavailable on 24th July, fans of diesel traction had an excellent treat, with BR Scotrail Intercity liveried 47643 operating the timetabled passenger services on the line from Bo'ness to Manuel on this day.
47643, which in recent months has been treated to a repaint, looked fantastic as it worked in the sunshine.
