DRS 37/'s, well the first two on the move, 37703 and 37714 left Dollands Moor by road and are seen at both Dollands Moor and Junction 9 of the M20. Alley's providing haulage with 37703 leading 37714. Certainly bizarre following these up the road.

This also provided the opportunity to photograph the locomotives from the 'clean side' which shows the detailed livery. Which is similar to that of EWS, however the main paint scheme is that of Spanish operator GIF, as is the 'L' number identity. However GIF was taken over by Continental Rail who then branded the locomotives with small blue locos on the nose and below one cab side window on each side of the locomotive. So a unique livery scheme which for the 37's now won't be lasting very long. So was nice to document.


These two are Barrow Hill bound and the other two for Derby RVEL.

Thankfully the weather played ball and I was the only photographer about which was a surprise.

Certainly nice to know that these two, along with 37718/716 awaiting collection have a future with DRS. Also nice is the other two former Spanish 37's, 37884 and 37800 have been sold to Europhoenix for use in the UK. So six returned and are seemingly going to be put back into use.

On the day 92003, 92015 and 92016 were also present and were photographed as well.
