BLACK 5's Passing Each Other - Plus a VERY Busy Glenfinnan Viaduct!

Channel: DestinationTrainsPlanes

Description
See the daily Jacobite Black 5 workings passing each other at Arisaig with 44871 leading towards Mallaig with 45407 passing by tender first headed back to Fort William.

Also seen is 44871 working across Glenfinnan Viaduct with an audience of 200-300 (mostly) Harry Potter fans from all sorts of different countries in attendance. I don't think I'm filmed anywhere quite as busy as this before..

The video ends with a random layby shot of 45407 making a lovely noise down the West Highland line valley..
