Her Majesty, en route for Scotland, at Dunbar Station, 1858. '...a monster train of excursionists, under the guidance of Mr. Cook, of Leicester, were returning from their wanderings in the land of the mountain and the flood, and nearing the ancient town of Dunbar...when the exclamation was suddenly heard, "The Queen is coming!" The train stopped, and instantly passenger after passenger mounted the roofs, and thence saluted the Royal company with a united shout of welcome...as the Royal train stopped, hundreds of men, women, and children left their carriages, resolved to see the Queen; and their wish was gratified: there were no officials to interfere. All ranks joined in hearty cheer after cheer for every member of the Royal family...The carriage window was quickly let down, and the Queen and Prince Consort, having submitted, with their usual gracious bearing, to addresses from officials with due formality and ettiquette, turned with smiling faces to the multitude who thought only of expressing their loyalty to the utmost...the excursionists withdrew, greatly delighted at this unexpected meeting with their Queen; and her Majesty, equally pleased, no doubt, with such an impromptu outburst of genuine loyalty, proceeded towards her Highland home'. From "Illustrated London News", 1858.
