Day 6 Thursday 4th May : Glasgow – Oxenholme
The former LMS mainline south from Glasgow follows the course of the River Clyde climbing into the Southern Uplands with a summit north of Beattock, near Moffat. This leg of the journey was hauled appropriately by ex-LMS ‘Duchess’ Class 4-6-2 46233 ‘Duchess of Sutherland’, a Class synonymous with the line for the last 25years of regular steam haulage. It is here approaching Carluke.
