156457 & 153305 stand in Oban station on 8 March 2023, prior to working the 1Y26 14:41 ScotRail service to Glasgow Queen Street. McCaig's Tower dominates the background. This unmistakable circular folly was built between 1897 and 1902 by local banker John Stuart McCaig. Although unlike most of the UK, there was no snow in this part of Scotland, the temperature was not far off freezing, which explains why the platform is covered in salt.
