A classic autumnal afternoon was enjoyed by the passengers of the Scottish Lowlander Railtour on 27th September 2014 as it journeyed the equally classic Glasgow & South Western Route back via Dumfries to Carlisle where a Coronation Class Pacific 46233 Duchess of Sutherland took over the Crewe. A Gresley Pacific 60009 Union of South Africa is seen on the final assault of the 1 in 200 climb up to Enterkinfoot Tunnel. Until 1923. The line via Dumfries was in competition with the North British Railway and the Caledonian Railway as one of the main lines into Scotland.
