47565 'Responsive' arrives light loco into Slateford station, Edinburgh on Saturday 3rd Oct 1998 after having been called out from Edinburgh Craigentinny depot to haul the 1E05, 08:00 Glasgow Central - London Kings Cross GNER service round the non-electrified, freight only Edinburgh Suburban (sub) Line due the direct line between here & Haymarket being closed & the overhead power isolated because of a fire at the Caledonian Brewery which overlooks the line at Slateford/Shandon. Unfortunately, just before 47565 got here the line was re-energised & re-opened allowing passage of all trains directly into Haymarket & Waverley stations.
