66544 crosses the River Esk at Metal Bridge with the 6Z39 11:16 New Cumnock to Drax Freightliner coal hoppers on 17 May 2002. As both the A74 road and the railway cross the river here, it doesn't take much imagination to work out what the local pub (and therefore the locality) is named after! Although sunny, it was an extremley blustery day, and with virtually nothing to lessen the full force of the wind coming in off the Irish Sea, an exposed footbridge was not the best place to spend any length of time!
