67004, CS 21.16 London Euston-Inverness, Fort William & Aberdeen sleeper (1S25 & 1Y11), West Highland Line, near Bridge of Orchy
67004 'Cairn Gorm' passes through the Highlands near to Bridge
of Orchy leading the 21.16 Highland Sleeper from Euston with this particular portion heading to Fort William. This picture is taken through the tiny window at the end of the Mk. III coach that was surprisingly clean thus making this image possible. 67004 is one of six Class 67s used exclusively by CS that has been adapted to work the sleeper services being RETB equipped and having modified braking systems. They are also speed restricted to eighty miles per hour. Their replacement is now overdue with a dedicated fleet of former Southern Region class 73s being completely rebuilt. However, as is usual with our railways, their introduction is now heavily overdue due to technical issues.
