(Class 37 Clag) 37716, 66429, 37402 and 66424 Depart Holgate Sidings York 17.6.20 

I bought a new Bungalow next to Chester-Le-Street station way back in 1995, paid buttons for it, it looked onto the ECML, I didn't give a fuck, I was train driver then, we bought the first one on the block that looked onto the railway as they weren't selling at all, we got a discount, loads of extras form the builder, first weekend in the house a huge engineering job right outside my bedroom windows, bridge renewal, I slept like a log, neighbours going bezerk, great days, being a keen railwayman/fan, living next to the railway is the best, I remember your flats going up.

@@kevinbaird7277 The day someone starts messing with the jammie dodger will be a sad one. I live close to the line that feeds Shotton,steel passes twice a day but the type 37 Deltics have been replaced with DB engine's....not good.....I miss the chug if those Deltics pulling 1000tonnes,but if there're not rolling,then industry is NOT rolling. Gov't need a buy british ethos in all departments.

@Brentley Kian shut it bot

@@paulpugh5315 A year on and nobody has informed you that they weren't "Deltics"?

I could not say it better myself 👍👏

Always nice to see a classic out and about

Class 37 any day

Closer to 60: the last 37s were built in 1965.

The 66 is my favourite diesel but I do love the 37's :)

Yup, it's a lovely clatter not that I don't enjoy listening to a 66 spool up but they smell like burning plastic.

Too right, 66s sound like an angry wasps nest in a tin shed!

what's good about smoke? it's a sign of a sick engine!

@@steveluckhurst2350 sorry,i had thought usually smoking like a steam locomotive.it’s no good if in s sick .

It's not a deltic - the class 55s are the deltics. These are ruston V12 diesels.

Jeez i personally have that engine out and a complete rebuild and kick up the arse the people letting her get in a bloody state.

Best comment I've seen on youtube today. ~ laughs ~

That’s like aftershave to real men 😂💪

Can't pull 1000tonnes with solar panel's yet.....steel bashers waiting for Shotton steel to make your next car,fridge freezer,radiator etc etc etc

Oh yeah i cut about 5 mins out of the footage of it ticking over

The 37s have grass ploughs fitted, so it's all good.

this makes no sense. The young woman is totally in favour of railfreight. And it's right that diesel is retired to support roles as here. Electric rail is nowhere near as exciting but it's better for everyone, if the power is produced cleanly, as it is increasingly so.

Grunta needs a bigger smokestack..like a coal burning loco from covidland
