Description British Rail Class 37 diesel electrics 37069 and 37070 continue to plough through Doncaster with their up freight on October 15, 1977. I thought they were in quite good nick and the 37 was a pleasing design.

I once saw a freight over here going past with a locomotive that's been nicknamed "Barcode", the cabside read 1111, and the train that came down an hour later had 1112 leading.

Yep, especially since the numberboards have perfectly straight lines as the 1s.

Immingham to Tinsley Iron ore at a guess!   Wonderful shot Sir!

Once two loco's worked in multiple there was a reluctance to seperate them!

I was a 'skimmer'. Patrol boats mainly. Until Mr Rifkind closed us down.
