**VERY RARE** DRS 37401 and 37419 work 6X41 fully loaded cars at Highbury & Islington and Apsley

Information filtered through this evening of DRS having no spare locomotives in position to work the loaded Ford Car Train from Dagenham to Garston. When this was discovered to be 37401 and 37419, everything was dropped to go and get this once in a lifetime working, seeing as DRS are to shortly lose this contract as it heads back to GBRf again.
First off, 'Mary Queen of Scots' and 'Carl Haviland' are seen passing Manningtree on 0Z41 from Stowmarket to Dagenham. These came to Stowmarket the previous day, but due to other commitments, I was unable to get this.
Next up, it's over to Highbury & Islington on the North London Line where the pair of 12CSVT's are seen toiling their train through the station with 6X41 from Dagenham to Garston.
Finally, it's across to Apsley where 37401 and 37419 are seen absolutely storming past with 1200 tonnes on the drawhook, and with 6X41 from Dagenham to Garston. Owing to a favorable wind direction, they can be heard after passing all the way to Berkhamsted!
Thanks for watching, South East Train Hub.

The purr as it drives by, beautiful

An unmistakable sound and one that can’t be beaten!

Excellent video, definitely worth the late night for this one.

[@southeasttrainhub]

There was some very last minute planning for this one to happen and come together; just 2 hours notice to piece everything together and head out! Very well rewarded in the end. Cheers Kyle!

Has to be the working of the year 2023😍, 37 power💪.

Absolutely, and it’s only January! You just can’t beat an English Electric Type 3… let alone two of them!

Thank you very much!

A good example of a long - if not heavy load - ideal for rail.

How do you know where the 37s take their route? Is there a website?

[@eprn1n2]

Those are ULEV enforement vehicles.

And you got a toot. Although isn't there a law about drivers using their horn at night?
