PFA Wagons in Scotland

[sulzer71]

Good Afternoon

 

I recently came across some pictures on Flickr of a Class 37 hauling Cawoods PFA wagons at Thurso and Georgemas in the mid 90's , does anyone know any more info on this service and how long it ran for etc? Also were there any other operations that used PFA wagons along West Highland/Far North routes? Tia

After the Enterprise network started, containerised coal was handled at Aberdeen Craiginches Yard, Elgin East Yard,  Inverness Harbour branch and Thurso. I'm not sure if Georgemas was used for offloading containers. From memory, they ran for about 5 years from mid 90's to early 2000's

These flows transitioned from the ex-Cawoods yellow to the bright BFL Red boxes but a mix of both was also common
