Not all trains ran to Stranraer Harbour. Here at Stranraer Town Station. A Stanier Black 5 4-6-0 No. 44723 prepares to leave with a train to Dumfries via Castle Douglas on 20th April 1965. Less than 2 months later on 14th June. The line from Challoch Junction to Dumfries was closed. On the right is a DMU bound for Glasgow St Enoch while on the far left can be seen Stranraer Shed 68C.
