The Final Furlong on the Cumbrian Coast ! 20 Jan 2018

[@FiveSixBroad]

Everything in this video is beautiful: landscapes, stations, signalling, railwaypeople, stock, locos, and of course, supreme thrash of 37s

[@desdemona77]

Thanks FiveSixBroad Chuffed You like it... Take care Warren

[@TrainTrackTrav]

As an American, I too am very sad to hear that the ol' 37s are being replaced. True icons of British railroading for sure. Let's hope the 37s have a slightly brighter future than just being replaced.

[@60103FlyingScotsman]

Well quite a few are preserved in fact some 37401 is preserved and she is mainline registered

[@jos4669]

Many are still in operation with other companies, such as colas rail, and a large amount are preserved with a few being mainline registered

[@AlycidonDeltic]

37's seem to get replaced every 5 years or so, they'll be back in one form or another, no need to worry about that!

[@nerimenxo7199]

No way can't believe there replaced

[@nerimenxo7199]

Well the deltic 55 is much more faster and better

[@D0csavage1]

During the early eighties one of my workmates came to work beaming, that he stopped to admire one of these at the station one night. Where the driver invited him in to the cab to demonstrate the dials and controls, and their purpose. Before the signal to leave the station. Iconic trains they are indeed. I love the way when the train goes out of sight you still keep the camera rolling, where others would simply cut that scene out. When one of your shots shows the train fade into the haze is pretty special. Then the night shot. Nicely thought though.

[@desdemona77]

Thanks for the comment and insight.. Take care Warren

[@stuartpattison1576]

I love the 37s. You can hear them coming miles away.

[@siddywiddyb]

Beautiful Tractors!! So aggressive looking and sounding. Thanks!!

[@rossifan7347]

Fantastic, not seen many lasses piloting a 37 before. Awesome.

[@RedShedNick]

Same here, good on her, a lady friend of mine has just passed as driver for db, good on her too.

[@EErail26]

Great footage and made me smile, remembering how lucky we were to have over three years of 37 hauled services on this route…and in large logo! Amazing to think it happened, now.

[@desdemona77]

Thanks EErail..we were very lucky Cheers Warren

[@adolf72160]

Im very new to british trains, but I have admit that this locomotive, landscape, train and specially the sound it is outstanding! Thank you for sharing.

[@desdemona77]

My pleasure..Take care adolf72160

[@chrisrichmond403]

Fair credit to the lass giving Mary some thrash out of the Station .

[@cefnonn]

Thanks for uploading. This is beautifully shot with quality kit - lovely light effects!

[@desdemona77]

Thanks for the comment cefnonn

[@darrylbond5238]

Excellent footage. I managed to get get over to see and ride them just before the 68s ended the last of these runs and this bought back some nice memories!

[@desdemona77]

Thanks for the comment Darryl Cheers Warren

Great video. I used to go to school with the lady driving the train out of Workington.

Great Footage and always and nice to hear those 37s......Cheers...Trevor.''

Thanks again Trevor..Cheers Warren

[@MrDavros-qb2lj]

Amazing footage! How priviliged you are to enjoy any sort of locomotive haulage these days. at 9 mins was that Mary (Queen of Scots) at the controls!! (very pretty!). Just about forgotten what 37s sounded like, and I was brought up on 'em on the former MML at Cudworth!

[@terrymoney9718]

Wow 6yrs ago. Wheres that gone?

[@PNEKarl]

Excellent footage. I especially enjoyed the very last clip from the level crossing.

[@desdemona77]

Thanks Karl Take care Warren

[@Elvo7684]

Oh no, I thought they would be around for a bit longer, I'm taking a trip up from Shropshire next week, and this was going to be my highlight. Wonderful 'proper' railway.

[@geoffbarry9540]

DRS are very good at finding work for their stock. What price putting together two of the Cumbrian sets with the 37s in the middle as a Tractor Railtour unit? Easy reversal, motive power backup - one 37 could easily drag the other and eight coaches out of trouble. Iconic Mk2s (I assume the entire consists are Mk 2, not just the driving trailers). Work up an exotic livery based on DRSs house colours and away you go...Tractor fan heaven.

[@ChapelEndJunctionUK]

Some of the best shots of 37's on KZbin .......Peter

[@desdemona77]

Owen Evans Thanks Owen..

[@harrisonfisher4308]

All I can say is take advantage of the 37s while you can before there gone (68s have been introduced to passengers on March)

[@johnbrown9092]

Brill video. Was on one of the trains last week from Carlisle to Barrow.

[@desdemona77]

Thanks John Cheers Warren

[@k333vrr4]

Are we all sure that all class 37s will not run this line anymore ? I’d lov to be up there this November if so! 401 monster!

[@S7EVE_P]

I love the sound of the class 37. Can some knowledgeable person tell me why the idle is irregular?

[@peteratkinson922]

Low speed idling with 120 degree crankshaft throws may account for the off beat sound?

[@chrisbow1776]

How fast do 37s accelerate? They seems to pick up speed very fast, just curious what their 0 to 60 might be?

[@peteratkinson922]

The engine is at optimum power due the the method of power delivery to the track instead of having to go through fixed gear ratios where it has to reach peak power by a comparatively gradual increase in revs. I am no expert in these locos.

A very nice video for a fantastic locomotive ! I have put the video on my blog. :-)

[@desdemona77]

Thanks for the comment..

[@Finsami71]

These lovely Diesel locos are like ever- young grandpas :)

Excellent shots of the Tractors in action! Brilliant sound of two at St Bees. What will happen to them after they cease the operations at Cumbrian line? Thumbs up, this one lands on the Favourites :) Best regards from Poland! :) Mike

[@desdemona77]

Thank You very much Mike Take care Warren

[@mikewylie1861]

Hopefully 401 and 403 will go back to SRPS Boness for a deserved semi retirement in the rightful place.

[@scottishtrains9324]

KingmoorCondor sounds likely considering Srps Bo’ness have 37402 allready.

[@slendermanRblx]

The cumbrian coast loco hauled trains are simillar to american commuter trains with a loco on one end and a cab car (DBSO)

[@RailwayProductions-nd3tx]

Very Nice. They havent ended yet have they? Dont they end 30th Jan?

[@desdemona77]

Thanks for that..not sure on end date as yet..the longer the better...

[@RailwayProductions-nd3tx]

desdemona77 Indeed so my friend. Longer the better. Although Think we still got them for 2 more weeks atleast.

[@gksturges]

Hi some great footage. Can I ask what video camera you use. Seems to capture the lovely sounds perfectly.

[@desdemona77]

Hi Graham..Its a Sony external mic that sits on top of the camcorder

[@philipsmith6181]

Very enjoyable video. Good to see proper signalling. Is the coaching stock being replaced as well?

[@desdemona77]

Thanks Philip

[@EMMAWONDERLAND1]

Nice these classic railways thought.

[@am-vm8ew]

Shame these are going. At least they're being replaced by other locos and not DMU'S.

[@scarfyleah]

I personally know someone who drove these up until last year on the rhymney line he said very loud In side 60s ye 70s ye 80s maybe 90s no

[@paulrob86]

There is just something about the engine sound on a class 37

[@desdemona77]

I must agree with You Paul

class 68's Michael..

desdemona77 Oh okay. Better than a DMU !

[@しろきつね-w2j]

Very nice video there being replaced by 68s soon I filmed them further up at Nethertown

[@desdemona77]

Cheers Bridgefoot

[@naren5554]

Where is this

[@scarfyleah]

All though these are iconic it's been a joke that the British rail net work was still running these in the 90s

[@scarfyleah]

And what I mean by there is there kick out tons of pollution they are from the 60's as reminiscent as they are look at every other rich country and its trains LOOK AT OURS shocking to say the least we really fall far behind every rich nation when it comes to trains etc even today RIP off and cheap looking By the time HS2 comes on track it will be out dated We are backward on some matters which I believe is more political than the skill of our engineers It's a joke where our sleek trains that dont cost the earth whilst killing it off with tons of pollution
