  • Class 37/4's and 37/0 at Fort William and 37404 at Mallaig during the Summer of 1986. This was before 156's were introduced to the West Highland line and shows how long the trains used to be and the shunting involved - plus the mixed passenger & freight working departing for Mallaig.
    To accompany this there will be a 'window bash' movie from Mallaig-Fort William-Rannock behind 37404 - watch this space!

      +TRSPomerania These were the days indeed - at least the scenery is still there, if not the 37's.

      TRSPomerania yes there's a few in use with DRS and Network Rail. DRS uses some of them on passenger services along the Cumbrian coast line from Carlisle and from Norwich to Great Yarmouth/Lowestoft. Network Rail has IIRC 3 of them.

      This was a great era for sure, and the sound of Class 37s through the West Highlands is something I really miss - thankfully I have this footage.

    I suppose something did have to be done though as these trains look pretty empty. It's a shame now that they can't run 6 car all the way to Mallaig in Summer as, any time I've been on in the last couple of seasons, it definitely needs it
