37106 37351 passes Knabbs bridge Melton Ross on the endless circuit of iron ore for the blast furnaces 3-4-90 again memory serves me right just myself and Roy Barnard only in attendance ...
If there was a video of this it would be guaranteed to have thousands of views! The noise can only be imagined as these two EE workhorses, led by 37672 & and a Dutch liveried 37106 blacken the sky with exhaust approaching Stoke Works on the down line.
Slide dated October 1998.

The Chesterfield Canal in Hayton, in Nottinghamshire.
Known locally as Cuckoo Dyke, the Chesterfield Canal was opened in 1777 and ran 46 miles (74 km) from the River Trent at West Stockwith, Nottinghamshire to Chesterfield, Derbyshire. It is currently only navigable as far as Kiveton Park near Rotherham, South Yorkshire, plus an isolated section near Chesterfield. The canal was built to export coal, limestone, and lead from Derbyshire, iron from Chesterfield, and corn, deals, timber, groceries, etc. into Derbyshire. The stone for the Palace of Westminster was quarried in North Anston, Rotherham, and transported via the canal.
The route of the canal was surveyed by James Brindley and John Varley, who estimated the cost at £94,908 17s. Brindley presented his proposals to a meeting in Worksop on 24 August 1769. The investors asked John Grundy to carry out a second survey. He proposed a rather shorter course, from Stockwith in a straight line to Bawtry and then by Scrooby, Blyth and Carlton, to join Brindley's line at Shire Oaks. Grundy's line was 5 1⁄2 miles (8.9 km) shorter, and the cost estimated at £71,479, 6s. 9½d. Although Grundy's line was considerably cheaper, it achieved this by missing Worksop and Retford, and the investors decided in favour of Brindley's route.
The promoters consisted of one hundred and seventy-four persons, amongst whom were the Duke of Devonshire, the Duke of Newcastle, Lord Scarsdale, the Dean of York, and Sir Cecil Wray. They were incorporated by the name of The Company of Proprietors of the Canal Navigation from Chesterfield to the River Trent, and empowered to raise among themselves the sum of £100,000, in one thousand shares of £100 each, to fund the construction.
Immediately on the passing of the act, construction began under the direction of Brindley. Upon his death in September 1772, John Varley moved from Clerk of Works to Resident Engineer with Hugh Henshall, Brindley's brother-in-law, appointed Chief Engineer in 1773. The canal was to be built as a narrow canal, but in 1775, nine shareholders offered to fund the extra cost of making it a broad canal from Retford to Stockwith. Retford Corporation joined them, and each contributed £500. The additional cost exceeded £6000. The canal was opened throughout in 1777, but the only record of wide-beamed boats using it at Retford is prior to 1799.
There were 65 locks in all, with two tunnels: a short 154 yards (141 m) tunnel near Gringley Beacon, and the major 2,880 yard long Norwood Tunnel. At the time of construction, Norwood Tunnel was the joint longest canal tunnel in Britain, and it was sixth longest by the time it collapsed. The canal was a typical Brindley contour canal, following the contours to avoid costly cuttings and embankments, which resulted in a less than direct route in places.
The canal was initially fairly successful, with dividends being returned to the investors. However, the building of the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway line parallel to the canal (1849) left much of the navigation redundant, and the Worksop to Chesterfield stretch ceased to serve commercial traffic in 1908, when problems with mining subsidence necessitated the closure of Norwood Tunnel. The stretch between the tunnel and Worksop subsequently fell into ruin and became un-navigable, while parts of the isolated section from the tunnel to Chesterfield were infilled and redeveloped.

Christmas decorations at St Marks Shopping Centre an open air retail space built on the site of the former St Marks Railway Station, in Lincoln, Lincolnshire.
At the centre of the centre is an obelisk which once stood on High Bridge in Lincoln. After concerns about its weight, it was removed from the bridge in 1939 and recreated in 1996 at St Marks, reusing the pineapple pinnacle, the civic shield and one piece of the dolphins feature from the original.
In 2017 plans were announced for a £150 million redevelopment by Standard Life Investments, who own the retail park.
Plans include riverside restaurants along the River Witham, a cinema, multi-storey car park, a 130-bed hotel, 1,100 student flats, 150 residential flats and 485,000 square feet of new retail and leisure.
It is anticipated to create up to 2,000 jobs and will see the demolition of the some of the current buildings such as Pure Gym, Toys R Us and Pizza Hut.

For any flickr followers who have very little interest in kettles. The 1984 shot of Grindleford loop in use.
A dull day in Norwich but some fine traction is in evidence in the yard with an array of engineering wagons for track relaying on the Sheringham branch. Seen on the left is "Dutch"-liveried 37106, based at Stratford at the time, as evidenced by the familiar Cockney Sparrow sticker on the bodyside, and as such was a regular visitor to Norwich. Crewe-based 47574 Benjamin Gimbert G.C. displays the older parcels livery which was gradually being replaced by Rail Express Systems colours. The Brush Type 4 would have been a regular performer on the Norwich to Liverpool Street route before electrification. Norwich station was very busy on this day as 70000 Britannia had arrived with "The Broadsman" charter from Finsbury Park.

Brocklesby Junction 27-6-89 The day had started with a bit of sun but it went downhill fast! A matching pair of steel sector 37s (37106+275)were on empty iron ore wagons seen passing Brocklesby Junction in full dull
37106 heads the Tees NY-Stranraer ABS freight at Ouston Junction.
I presume the works wagons would be dropped at Tyne Yard.

37106-YX14 RZK Seen here on Kirkstone Pass while working the Kendal allocation on the 508 service from Penrith to Windermere. New to Stagecoach Cumbria at Carlisle depot in 2014 mainly on City services becoming the Carlisle Youth Zone branded vehicle then repainted into Lakes Connection in 2021 ready for the new summer season.
I wouldn't want to rely on my recognition skills of cars, but I think they appear to be Renaults that are being transported south. We'd seen 37106 head light engine ¾ hour earlier travelling northbound, so my question would be: where did the Renaults come from? It must have been somewhere relatively local, but I really don't have a clue.
37106 was to last a further decade in service before withdrawl came during February 1999. She met her final end at the CDRC in Wigan during August 2000. RIP
