Class 66 726 + 73 967 / UK-Dalwhinnie

The British night train known as Caledonian Sleeper has two daily departures from London Euston. One of these is the Highlander, which splits into three sections in Edinburgh, with the carriage groups continuing on to Aberdeen, Inverness and Fort William. Then there is the Lowlander, which only runs as far as the major cities of Glasgow and Aberdeen. Due to a shortage of Class 73 locomotives, a Class 66 is used on the branch line to Inverness. The two locomotives haul the eight carriages to the northernmost end of the Caledonian Sleeper.
