1962/06/02. LNER D40 Class 4-4-0 No. 62277 was preserved as Great North of Scotland Railway No. 49 "Gordon Highlander" in 1959 and restored to working order. It was painted in GNoS green livery, though it never carried this in normal service as the livery had been changed to black by the time the loco was built in 1920. Here it is in steam at Aberdeen Ferryhill shed, prior to working a special train from Aberdeen Waterloo to Inverurie and return in conjunction with the RCTS/SLS Joint "Aberdeen Flyer" railtour. Saturday 2nd June 1962.
