English Electric Tractor Power! BR Blue Class 37 Number 37264 Roars Away From Pickering Station

British Rail Class 37 (Type 3) Co-Co diesel-electric locomotive number 37264 was constructed in July 1965 by English Electric at the Vulcan Foundry in Newton-le-Willows as works number 3534 / D964 (later D6964). Powered by an iconic 12-cylinder English Electric 12CSVT turbocharged diesel engine producing 1,750 brake horsepower (1,305 kW) and a maximum tractive effort of 55,000 lbf, this 102-tonne heavy-duty locomotive earned the nickname "Tractor" among railway enthusiasts due to its unmistakable, deep engine roar. Represerved on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway (NYMR), 37264 is turned out in classic British Rail (BR) Blue livery with yellow warning ends, authentically restoring the iconic late 1960s to 1980s mainline diesel aesthetic.

On a beautiful summer's afternoon on Wednesday 15/07/2026 at 14:10, locomotive 37264 is captured in 8K 16:9 widescreen outside the Pickering station canopy on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway (NYMR). Hauling a stunning five-coach Pullman dining train set, the train features its dedicated baggage car—vehicle number S96300 "Jenny"—positioned directly behind the locomotive at the front of the formation. Sounding a fine blast of horn tones as it leaves, the English Electric diesel is seen thundering away from the station under steady power, beginning its journey up the line across the North Yorkshire Moors towards Whitby.
