37714 turned up back at Barrow Hill today, on a low loader.

The other 'super shunter' (703) is on-site as well.

 

Cheers,

Phil.

 

Cracking pictures, but it's shame that the rail industry has to give out such a negative message. Direct Rail Services - on the back of a road-going low-loader.

Ive no idea why they're both back there !

There were 4 or 5 men at least, (& they all looked very competent at what they were doing!), the low-loader, a support van & another lorry carrying the unloading ramps, all involved in that move!!

I got some 'side-on' pics as well, plus a couple of the vehicles, if anybody wants to see them.

 

Cheers,

Phil.

Very surprised, and pleased, to photograph this - 30 mins ago !

 

The sun wasn't ideal but needs must when I nip out from working.

After the tip-off from Beast (above) that something was heading my way, I managed to get a shot as 37219 arrived at Sheringham from Cromer just after 4pm today, with D306, D8059 and 50007 in convoy behind.

Great capture of 219 guys and seeing her in hi-res pics just looks mint.

 

 

 

edit: they should have given bogie, chassis and all underneath a fresh lick of paint as well.

The returning Purbeck Explorer, 1Z38 heads back through Hinton Admiral on 13th June 2014 with 37423 leading, followed by 37402.

 

 

 

 

With 37604 bringing up the rear.

 

The road bridge brickwork still shows evidence of the white painted square that provided sighting assistance for the up starter semaphore signal, which was abolished when the line was resignalled in conjunction with the introduction of third rail electrification in 1967.
