Locos THRASH! 37418 & 37508 Propel 975025 Caroline at Springs Branch - 02nd July 2025
37418 " An Comunn Gaidhealach' wearing the Loram Rail livery leads class mate 37508 in Rail Freight Grey with BR Large Logo make an epic sight and sound thrashing applying some power having paused at Wigan. On and off but we here the old girls singing which is my favourite sight and sound on the UK network.
The train was working a test train from Preston all the way to London Marylebone via Crewe, Shrewsbury, Wolverhampton, Birmingham, Banbury and High Wycombe. Having done a tour of Manchester, Bolton, Carnforth and Settle the previous day.
A truly epic hour with D1015 Western locomotive on a railtour too which can be watched here
