Presumably Nottman has to get his train to a point where it will not interfere with, or be delayed by, other traffic.

"We had just two shunts" probably means that Jim's engine was required to go into a side-track on two occasions to allow other trains the use of the main line.

The custom of first-footing is especially strong in Scotland where the "first footer" often brings gifts symbolic of prosperity for the coming year. [CPB]
