The Ever Faithful Tractors | British Rail Class 37 | History in the Dark
So, I had a lot of people bring these up when I discussed British Railways recently. Figured I owed them their own video as they're one of English Electric's best. 0:00 - Intro 0:46 - Background 3:16 - In Service 7:05 - Ever Faithful "The British Rail Class 37 is a diesel-electric locomotive. Also known as the English Electric Type 3, the class was ordered as part of the British Rail modernisation plan. They were numbered in two series, D6600–D6608 and D6700–D6999. The Class 37 became a familiar sight on many parts of the British Rail network, in particular forming the main motive power for InterCity services in East Anglia and within Scotland. They also performed well on secondary and inter-regional services for many years. Many are still in use today on freight, maintenance, and empty stock movement duties. The Class 37s are known to some railway enthusiasts as "tractors", a nickname given due to the similarities between the sound of the Class 37's engine and that of a tractor." 🚂 Further reading 🚂 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British... 🟢Join this channel to get access to perks: / @historyinthedark 🟢Patreon - / darknessthecurse 🟣Discord - / discord 🔴Cameo - https://www.cameo.com/darknessthecurse 🔵Facebook - / history-in-the-dark-109003305113711 🟢Donations - https://streamlabs.com/edgerabbit/tip 🔴Reddit - / historyinthedark 🔴Tiktok - / historyinthedark 🟣Instagram - / historyinthedark 🔵Twitter - / darkthecurse 🟣Merch - / @historyinthedark 🟣Twitch - / edgerabbit Other channels: 🟢Prehistory in the Dark: / @prehistoryinthedark 🟣Gaming and Fanfic Readings: / @darknessthecurse 🟣History Stuff: / @historyinthedark 👔Merch: https://streamlabs.com/edgerabbit/merch --- I WRITE BOOKS!
