| 1 | Loco hauled service at it's very best! When i heard that 37's would replace the usual Skips on the last 2009 FGW Bristol - Weymouth summer Saturday service, i thought it was just a wild rumour that had spread across the rail forums. In time it turned out to be true after seeing that the growlers had made their way down to Barton Hill the day before. I prepared for a early departure (7am) from my home in Swindon to find a good spot around the Westbury area to photo this working, after walking across a field and falling into a Stream my efforts was rewarded when i stumbled across this location between Yarnbrook & Westbury. DB Schenker liveried 37670, sporting a 'WESTBURY TRAINCREWS' headboard leads 37401 with the 2o72 service. Just for the record this was the first 37 hauled service train since 37414 pulled the curtain down on 25th September 1999 and the first EWS / DBS 37 at Weymouth since 37401/406 on 1Z38 on 9th April 2005. | Out & About 2009 | (135) |
