On Tuesday 28th June 1960 the six-car Swindon Inter-City set working the 7.52pm Girvan to Glasgow service failed after departing Girvan. It would be propelled, at some points reaching 40mph, by steam loco 45086 (behind the tree) working the "Lothian Piper" fitted freight (just two vans and a brake).
