Blackford Water Train Rescue - 66433 Assists a stricken 68033

While I was out filming some movements for an upcoming video, I was at Greenfaulds hoping to record the Blackford Water Train, until I had noticed it stopped just north of Stirling. I presumed it had failed, and with a quick check of social media, it seemed to be the case. A short time passed before a rescue locomotive in the form of 66433 was dispatched from Motherwell, and passed through the station to rescue the train. After it finally moved, I noticed on Traksy that it had been stopped near Greenhill Upper Junction, meaning it would go through Croy instead of Greenfaulds. I decided to go to Stepps in order to see the train running nearly 4 hours late!

Filmed at Stepps station.
