Colas Rail Class 37 Hauled RHTT 2024
The Railhead Treatment Train, or RHTT for short, sprays sandite onto the tracks at high pressure. This gets rid of any leaves/ sludge on the line during leaf fall season.
Whilst most places are stuck with GM traction, on the Yorkshire Coast class 37s are commonly found due to weight restrictions on the Bridlington line.
This year Colas Rail took the contract from Direct Rail Services, who had ran it for a good length of time.
This year, 37116, 37175 and 37254 'Cardiff Canton' featured.
I managed to see the Leaf Busters at numerous locations over Oct/Nov/Dec, but lots of clips are from York as that is where I am based.
