Two for the price of one?

 

Should that be 57002/57003?

37419 'Carl Haviland 1954-2012' has joined 37402 'Stephen Middlemore 23.12.1954-8.6.2013 on one of the Yorkshire RHTT circuits.

 

Here're the pair on 12th October 2020 with 3S14, 11.16 Grimsby Town to Bridlington, at Deighton heading towards Huddersfield for a reversal...

Today's Yorkshire circuit has 37 407 & 419 on it.

 

Another day and another change of class 37.  Here they are crossing the river Calder at Mirfield with 3S14 heading for Huddersfield...

Its not fair, the South Yorks circuit has had much better traction than the other one, i believe its just 66's which wont get me out of bed for 05.30 on the Harrogate line. Could someone ask for a traction swap?

Grear pics though, very jealous.

Cheers

Not that it's any comfort @jessy1692 if you're not on the route for this Yorkshire Circuit RHTT -  I know, sorry - but the 37s are certainly attracting a lot of attention at the moment.

 

When out photographing locally there're usually about half a dozen 'regulars' who I might bump into on occasions at the various locations that I visit.  Today, in addition to many of the regulars, there were at least a dozen photographers out who I didn't recognise.

 

Part of the novelty might be that between Wakefield Kirkgate and its reversal at Huddersfield, there's a chance to see whatever's working 3S14 twice in a short period of time, so there's an opportunity to grab a photo or two with both locos leading.

I think a day off might be in order soon so i can catch some decent traction.. not surprised they are gathering attention they look and i guess sound excellent.

All the best

This is what 37402 and 423 sounded like when working 3S14 on 7th October. 37423+37402 3S14 Colne Bridge 07102020


I’m sure you’d check something like Realtime Trains beforehand, especially if taking a day off, but for the benefit of anyone else contemplating a visit to West Yorkshire the part of the 3S14 diagram that I’ve been photographing is a Monday/Wednesday/Friday only working between Wakefield Kirkgate and Huddersfield.

Awesome, cheers 4630. Indeed a good study on real times and ill try plan a day off, preferably not in the rain as seems to happen to me every time i take a day..

Cheers

It's due to the restrictions in the tunnel between Wombwell and Elsecar which (fortunately) dictates what haulage can go through. Wombwell railway station overbridge was replaced at the beginning of the year which permitted 37's back over this section, otherwise the 20's would still be in use.

Cheers Busman, knew somewhere in the back of my brain there was a reason other than to make me feel left out!  We used to have 20s a few years back on northern yorks circuit, wish id paid more attention and got up earlier more times now!

Cheers
