[@ChilternRailPhotography]

[@JPLCUK]

@@ChilternRailPhotography yeah I was thinking that

[@SouthWestCrossingsUK]

[@BRLCAMUK]

Quite rare here!

[@davidrobert2007]

Cargo = continuously welded rail.

[@daviemac9925]

Those engines scare me!

[@jasonlawson2302]

Because it's only class 97s allowed on that line

[@JPLCUK]

Aye

[@EliTransportation]

Why is every single freight train in Barmouth pathed as a class 37

[@kevfrombutterley]

You're going to kick yourself when you find out! 😂

[@JPLCUK]

Because of the signalling system

[@ChilternRailPhotography]

because the signalling runs on ECTS which 97s not 37s are fitted with

[@EliTransportation]

@@ChilternRailPhotography shite i forgot about 97's

[@LDMTheTrainspotter]

@@EliTransportation There is only 3 class 97s that exist now 97301 was not long scrapped. I like 37s and ofc 97s a lot
