West Highlander, 25 September 2009: Preston - Glasgow

35 photos of Jubilee 5690 Leander working the Preston - Glasgow leg of the Railway Touring Co's annual West Highlander weekend railtour to Fort William and Mallaig.

World War 2 viaduct over the Eden, Carlisle, 25 September 2009 - 1339. In war, as in peace, Carlisle was a crucial Anglo-Scottish railway hub. This viaduct was built partly as a contingency should the old one, over which the 'West Highlander' is travelling, be bombed, and partly so that train delays could be avoided by extending the goods lines across the Eden from Caldew junction to Etterby junction.
