60009, return & final leg (Day 9!) of The Highlands and Islands Explorer, Edinburgh-Victoria (1Z80), New England bridge TL219796 Having had a lengthy layover in Connington loop a short distance north of this location at New England bridge, 60009 'Union of South Africa' is getting underway again leading the final leg (day nine!) of the epic Highlands and Islands Explorer charter. I was disappointed, having specifically chosen this location with its 1:200 gradient, to find that 60009 was producing very little exhaust. As it left the loops a little later than planned, the sun has also dropped rather low in the sky meaning that the loco. and stock is only partially illuminated.
