In the foreground is Swindon SC51028 which caught fire at Lochside in April 1977 and was immediately withdrawn. It faces Clayton 8598. Murray Liston.

5th July 1979
Instamatic Interludes. Class 126 at Girvan waiting for the off. There’s time for the signalman to chat to the driver before the 08:35 Glasgow Central to Stranraer Harbour heads south, facing a stiff climb to the summit (and tunnel) at Pinmore, thence the intermediate station at Barrhill. There always seemed to be a yellow track machine stabled in the siding in the distance. The line was double track as far south as Girvan but by that time it had been singled from Belmont Crossing (Ayr) with an intermediate passing loop at Kilkerran. The red signs at the foot of the signals proclaimed ‘Token Working’ with Girvan presumably being the limit of ‘Tokenless Block Working’ from Kilkerran. Note the car just peeping out next to the ‘box, coincidentally, the same colour as the signalman’s jumper … and what would today’s H&S brigade think of the footware? Well, it is summer! Thursday 05 July 1979. alicia hartman.
