Beneath vast mountains, across open moorland, and alongside shimmering locks, Scotland's Railways travel a landscape like no other. From coastal towns to historic cities, trains bring passengers to some of Britain's most iconic landmarks. This time, a treasured steam locomotive makes its last journey. The Union of South Africa was built in 1937 and the only member of the A4 class of street streamline steam locomotives still fully operational. This magnificent machine known as number nine to steam enthusiasts, will depart Edinburgh and journey north crossing the fourth bridge ,following Scotland's East coastal line to Aberdeen before winding her way back to Edinburgh shortly after sunset.
