Steadfast Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 Back in 2009, red and maroon 37s prowled the railways. Clicking the pic will take you Flickr. Two Type 3s to the Sea by Steadfast Fotography, on Flickr To mark the end of the 2009 'Summer Saturday' loco hauled services for First Great Western, a pair of 37s took the place of the regular class 67. Recently repainted DB Schenker red 37670 'St Blazey T&RS Depot' was partnered with former Royal Scotsman 37401 to work 2O72 from Bristol to Weymouth and 2V67 return. Seen during the stop at Westbury on the outbound run, with a long serving Westbury driver and the 'Westbury Traincrews' head board. Enough Westbury for one sentence?

RMweb Premium John M Upton Posted September 13, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 13, 2020 If I recall after repaint the DB painted 37's (I think there were two of them) didn't last in traffic very long. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steadfast Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Yep, 419 was the other, and from memory I think it only did one or two trips before going pop. Sale to DRS put paid to any more 37s going red. Jo 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold 4630 Posted September 15, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 15, 2020 (edited) West Yorkshire was visited by two class 37s on 15th September 2020. DRS 37716 worked 0Z91- 0Z93 between York Parcels Sidings and Bradford Interchange, presumed to be on route training/refreshing ahead of the start of the Autumn rail head treatment trains. Here is 0Z91 at Brighouse... and later in the day, 0Z93 approaching Heaton Lodge East Junction... The photo of 0Z93 was taken at Colne Bridge on the Huddersfield line where I had been waiting for Locomotive Services D6851 (37667) which was returning to Crewe from Hull as 0Z38. There’s a short video clip of 0Z38 here. Edited September 15, 2020 by 4630 18 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pic of 37008 at Eastfield taken from the passing 1715 GQS-EDW hauled by 47593. Sometime in 1986 (I think, but happy to be corrected) Those were the days!!! Later; Stu from EGDL.

RMweb Gold Popular Post 4630 Posted September 21, 2020 RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted September 21, 2020 (edited) On 21st September 2020 a further round of Direct Rail Services light engine movements took place which I've assumed are driver refresher trips ahead of the Rail Head Treatment Trains which should start to run soon in this part of West Yorkshire. Here is 37402 'Stephen Middlemore 23.12.1954 - 8.6.2013' with 0Z91, 08.55 York Parcels Sidings to Bradford Interchange, at Colne Bridge on its way to Huddersfield for a reversal... ...and after reversal, approaching Deighton before heading to Bradford Interchange via Bradley Junction and Bradley Wood Junction.

Presumably carrying out some track recording in preparation for future engineering works. This is the first time I have seen a 37 here. Hi, Its carrying out Signalling Design surveys using Omnicom Engineering PVP Video and Laser equipment (the big thing mounted on the front). I’ve just received the data from that run (and another run that was also photographed in this thread) so I can draw some base plans for some signalling works.

RMweb Gold big jim Posted October 10, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 10, 2020 (edited) It’s reference to my post on the previous page about the equipment on the front of 37219 that records the track i had a job one evening recording A couple of areas on the wcml with it but the engineer in charge of the machine didn’t have a cable to connect it to his laptop, fair dos though he knew his stuff and tried to lash one up from a couple of USB cables and he got it working when static but it didn’t work once on the move!
