Scottish Speedlink: Cameron Bridge…
In the past month I've been turning attention back to the heart of the Paxton Road journey - a love of British Rail freight in 1990 and in particular the shorter Speedlink operations in central Scotland... I had a book as a child, ' British Marshalling Yards ' by Michael Rhodes, published by OPC, in fact I should say 'I have' as it still sits on my shelf - in the Scottish section you will find a few important photos that explain why, perhaps, I'm drawn back here... an 08 with Tullis Russell PAA sits at the end of the Markinch branch at Auchmuty and a 20 with Carbon Dioxide tanks at Cameron Bridge... these images, along with others from the area in the years since provide glimpses of traffic in short colourful wagons hauled by short colourful diesels that appealed, even then, to me... Class 20 Nos. 20137 and 20198 arrive at Cameron Bridge in Fife with a pair of four-wheel carbon dioxide tanks for the distillery on 30th September 1990. Peter Moss photo ( https:/
