It's 11.18 and 37427 runs along the short sea wall section of line at Corpach on the Mallaig extension line, with one TBA China clay slurry tank in tow, forming the 7Y31 11.58 Fort William to Corpach "Enterprise". It amused me to see this being described as an "Enterprise" service. So it's running early, but out here the train would probably run when it was convenient to do so!

The Wiggins Teape paper mill specialised in self-carbonating paper, but I guess the unswerving march of the digital age put an end to this requirement, and doomed the mill to eventual closure.
