This charter was unusual insofar as the Club also arranged to charter a train, in conjunction with the steamer charter, with the Locomotive “Lucy Ashton” as the motive power – the Club’s only train charter

which hauled the Club’s only charter train
on 29th May 1948 from
Glasgow Queen Street to Craigendoran
