Connected branch evidence, not a through-route claim
A dated photograph records No. 80117 at Castle Douglas on 24 April 1965 while working the Dumfries–Kirkcudbright branch service. The national record links it to the Port Road interchange while explicitly avoiding a claim that it worked the full Dumfries–Stranraer route.

Evidence before certainty
Direct links support the published relationship. Remaining gaps stay alongside the record rather than being filled with typical or assumed details.
Still unresolved
- The exact Castle Douglas photograph remains permission-controlled and is not reproduced.
- The train formation is not established.
- No. 80105 is a preserved class illustration, not the locomotive in the 1965 record.
