Description
Throughout much 2021 a poor availability of Caledonian Sleeper 73/9s has meant that GBRf 66s have supplemented power over the steep Scottish inclines. Whilst on holiday in Scotland in July 2021 I managed to capture all 3 portions. Mainly featuring 66791 + 73966! In order we see:

1: 66743 + 73966 awaiting departure from Inverness
2: 66743 + 73966 depart Aviemore for Edinburgh
3: 66738 + 73970 pass Torlundy near Fort William
4: 66738 + 73970 depart Tulloch from Fort William - Edinburgh
5: 66791 + 73966 pass Dalwhinne running from Inverness to Edinburgh
6: In beautiful morning sun 66791 + 73966 pass Dalwhinne running from Edinburgh - Inverness
7: Right next to my B&B, 66791 + 73966 pass Dalwhinne running from Inverness to Edinburgh in the last of the daylight in some beautiful scenery
8: 66791 + 73966 arrive into Dalwhinnie
9: & are seen departing Kingussie
10: 73969 + 73967 await departure from Aberdeen
11: 66791 + 73966 arrive into Edinburgh
12: Then shunt to Craigintinny

Enjoy!
