Description
Just in case you ever wondered what it looks like when the northbound and southbound 'Highlander' Caledonian Sleeper trains pass in the middle of the night - this occurs near Beattock at around 2.45am. This is filmed from the southbound train, with 90045 at its head, and 92044 is leading the northbound service. We pass the entire length of the approximately 370m long train in 4 or 5 seconds, which tallies with each train running at around its normal maximum speed of 80mph.
NB this was not filmed with my head outside of the window which would obviously be dangerous - just the edge of my phone to allow its camera to see.
