Class 37s 37402 "Oor Wullie" & 37425 "Concrete Bob" - 1Q99 1638 Cambridge Reception Sidings to Welwyn Garden City F.D. - 28/03/2025.
I wanted to find a spot where I could photograph this train side on, as it had two celebrity locomotives on each end. After much deliberation, I took a punt & decided to try this location. I didn't know what this would come out like, as I hadn't been here for quite a while. I also had to walk rather briskly, as it took a bit longer to reach the spot than what I had anticipated! However, I think it was worth it in the end.
37425 & 37402 working the 4 weekly 1Q97 10:50 Ferme Park Recp. to Clacton-on-Sea PLPR test train depart Harwich Town, 26/03/25.
