34027 Taw Valley with a southbound CME on 8/2/1992. Not a great pic but uploaded for the rarity value of the engine and location - 34027 had only a handful of trips over the S+C. The station was closed in May 1970 and I believe the building is available as a holiday let.It is also a postal address for the campaign to extend the Borders line to Carlisle Copyright David Price No unauthorised useLong Marton station 1
