Class 37 Photos...


Recommended Posts

It's been ages since I've seen anything but ATW 158's on my local line but managed to catch this going off the cambrian with another 97 on the rear

 

 

Good catch, where about on the Cambrian?

In that case I would have been coasting from hanselmanns crossing heading to the 30kph bridge just before the old cruckmeole jn where the line to minsterley used to go off

 

Unfortunatly for you the only ‘quiet’ bit of the journey between Welshpool and Salop!

37516/37668 head 1Z70 Lancaster-Carlisle through Settle in place of the planned steam loco on 26/6/18. A steam ban had been enforced the evening before to cause the substitution.

Nice old thornaby pair together, shame they weren't put together the preferred way is No1 end to No1 end apparently that is the best way for cooling especially in this weather

West Coast Rail Company's 37706 leads 1Z25, 05.55 Southport to Scarborough, 'The Scarborough Spa Express' at Mirfield East Junction on 5th July 2018...

The usual double-headed arrangement for the diesel portion of the working to York appears to have been substituted by 'top 'n' tail'.  I'm guessing that this is for operational reasons to do with the steam portion of the working between York and Scarborough - if the steam portion actually happens as I understand that a Network Rail ban is in operation in some parts of the country.

Back to July 1980 and 37143 is at Mantle Lane, Coalville on the Doncaster area ballast. The train ran(from memory) Mon to Fri and is departing for Cliffe Hill after waiting for the Cliffe Hill, Hayes Tarmac train to clear the loading point. This loco must have been one of the early examples to have the buffer skirts cut away and headcode plated over. It also finished up on it's side in the river Ebbw in 1975, I think it was recovered by dragging back up the embankment by several locos, including D1200. I'm sure someone knows more.

On Thursday, 19th, July, I was in Scarborough, and when I went on the station, I saw this 37, 37706, at the rear of the Scarborough Spa Express. I’m guessing it is present owing to the very hot and dry weather. I took the following three photo’s, and I hope you will enjoy them.

Unfortunately the 37 spilled its coolant all over Trowse and held the job up for a while not long after this photo was taken.

Any idea what that is on the Borail behind 31152? Must be close to the maximum height to be in gauge.

Hi Dave

I didn't even notice that until you pointed it out! I don't know the answer, I'm afraid. Here's the extreme edge of the negative which might be a clue. Any takers?
