Sadly, the days of seeing 'Glen Douglas' in steam, let alone out on the main line are long gone and unlikely to return. Here's the SLS/MLS 'Carlisle Rail Tour' of 6th April 1963. No.256 is calling at Canonbie (NBR) Station that had opened in May 1862 and would close to passengers in June 1964 with all traffic ceasing in September 1967. The tour commenced at Carlisle and ran to Langholm and return.
