English: Nearing Beattock Summit from the north.
View NW from the A74, towards Elvanfoot, Carstairs and Glasgow; ex-Caledonian West Coast Main Line, Carlisle - Carstairs - Glasgow/Edinburgh. The train is an Up parcels, headed by Stanier Class 5 4-6-0 No. 45018. The railway and road are here at over 1,000 feet just below Beattock Summit. The location is desolate and rain/wind-swept, but 'enlivened' by the trains on the railway and the lorries that choked the A74 before - ?since - its conversion to a Motorway. Over to the left is the valley of the Clyde Burn, which drains into the River Clyde.
