Class 37, 37003
Preserved English Electric Type 3 Class 37 Co-Co diesel locomotive 37003 stored in the sidings just outside Leicester Station in the County of Leicestershire (UK).
37003 was built by English Electric at The Vulcan Foundry Newton le Willows and entered service as British Railways Type 3 D6703 on December 28th 1960.
37003 was retired from the mainline on January 21st 2000.
Mid Norfolk Railway stalwart 37003 is in the care of UKRL (UK Rail Leasing) Vehicle Overhaul and Maintenance Services at Leicester for major overhaul. Unfortunately severe engine issues have kept the locomotive at UKRL since 2017.
This locomotive carries its pre (6703) and post (37003) TOPS numbers at each end on both sides for some reason..
