LMS Stanier Class 5 4-6-0

Black Five No. 45407 The Lancashire Fusilier at the head of the Jacobite, coming off the Glenfinnan Viaduct in a cloud of steam in October 2021, with the viaduct's arches curving behind. The LMS Stanier Class 5 is a 4-6-0, and West Coast Railways has put No. 45407 in charge of this 84-mile round trip from Fort William to Mallaig for many years. The viaduct's twenty-one arches stand a hundred feet above the River Finnan, a span known around the world from the screen. For riding behind steam rather than just watching it, this is the trip to book, though a heritage diesel sometimes stands in.
