A historic locomotive thrilled rail buffs as it steamed its way through Courier Country on Wednesday. The puffing 1937 Union of South Africa loco made its way from Aberdeen to Edinburgh in the early evening. Passengers who paid up to £175-a-head left Edinburgh just after 10am and were hauled by two puffing Black Vs, 45407 and 44871. They spent a few hours in the Granite City before being taken home by the legendary 60009 Union of South Africa over the Tay and Forth bridges. See Thursdays Courier for a full report.
