(12:21) - light engines These two were on 6P04 last night, whitemoor to Thorpe-le-Soken with 15 Autoballasters. Did think it was odd to have a 37 on an infrastructure working. Normally its 2 66s. Driver gave it plenty of thrash coming past the PSB in platform 3 colchester! 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was before I got on it I was late shift, I didn't have the MOM he had gone by then The weather was pretty bad, at least GA didn't stop running like 2018, mind we had some fun then ploughing the sheringham line with the independent plough Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halvarras Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 This was probably the most outrageous Class 37 working I ever managed to photograph! The date was 3/9/75 and I'd been invited to assist in the repainting of D1062 Western Courier for the Open Day which occurred 10 days later. During a break in proceedings I took myself off to the nearest corner of the Con Yard to await the passing of D1068 Western Reliance on 1A67 the 1725 Cardiff - Paddington. What turned up instead was a Class 37, and not even a WR one.........37199 from Immingham depot! As you can tell the light was beginning to fade by then but sometimes subject matter is more important than photo quality..... 16 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
