Powering Westwards
43.305 and 43.238 powered 1E30, the 18:18 Aberdeen - Leeds, westwards at Abbeyton, between Drumlithie and Fordoun, on 15 May 2019. This section of line, through Strathmore, is relatively straight and gently graded, allowing the HSTs to stretch their legs before the serious curvature begins again near KInnaber Junction.
