Unseen RARE footage, 50031 & 50049 over "The Glenfinnan Viaduct" 5/3/2005 Christmas video 1

This is the first of my Christmas videos, the tour is "The Monarch of the Glen"
This part of the four day tour was 1Z23 Fort William to Mallaig and return.
I sure this is the only time this class of loco has been down this line.

[@trainsonthebrain]

Magnificent. Great to see this kind of traction going over the viaduct - as great as the Jacobite steam excursion is, this is a nice change!

[@antman09ful1]

Many thanks for watching this video, which has only happened once using the class 50s on this line. Regards Mike.

[@antman09ful1]

[@SMILEVIDEOTRAINS]

teasing me a bit there Mike. Thought is was gonna feature a few shots featuring the viaduct . Never mind it's always a pleasure to soo trains in the highlands. I'm a big fan of Scotland. Now await your next one.

[@antman09ful1]

Ok Keith, its possible there will be another unseen one from Scotland on Wednesday.

[@thebear3178]
