37071+37083 Leeds 1Z33 27th Dec 1991

The problem with the 'Information Super-highway' is you can spend years thinking you made a great move on a certain day only to have your ego shattered by the collective input of a milllion cranks. I just went on the Class 37 Group's most excellent 'Fleet History' section to check the headcode & find out that on the same day 37040 worked the 1526 Edinburgh-Liverpool between Carstairs & Preston, hmmm-Beattock & Shap was still required track for me back then-I'm finished.

 

But I digress; a resplendent pair of Darlington built, Dutch liveried 37s top the additional 0947 Leeds-Carlisle 'Crankex' with 47479 along for train heat on a fine but crisp Saturday morning running in the path of the dated 0946 starting in April 1992. The 1318 return over the S&C was entrusted to the capable hands of 37049+37095.
