All photographs on this page were taken by Gregory Beecroft on 2nd March 2016 GB Railfreight displayed two of its Caledonian Sleeper Class 73/9s at Stirling station on 2nd March during the Rail Freight Group's Annual Scottish Conference. (above) 170473 on the 12:36 Alloa to Glasgow Queen Street with 73967 and 73968 in one of the bay platforms. (below) A little earlier, 73967 and 73968 approaching the station. |

(above) 73968 and 73967 in the platform. (below) Note, in the above and this shot, the revised cab front centre window arrangement - clear and with a windscreen wiper. On 73967 below, the clear centre window is obvious because a station sign in the background can be seen through it. |

Showing the multiple working arrangement between 73967 and 73968. A red jumper (presumably carried inside the locomotive when not in use) connects the sockets in the middle of the cab front. It is assumed this is for American Association of Railroads (ARA) multiple working, because classes 66 and 67 have similar sockets. |
