Class 37s

Class 37s

The English Electric Type 3 (later Class 37) was introduced from the late 1950s to the early 1960s at a time when the writing was on the wall for steam traction. It was designed to be a general-purpose locomotive that was equally at home on freight or passenger trains. They served with British Rail in the Eastern Region, on lines in South Wales and in Scotland. Over the years, they have proved reliable workhorses for UK railways. Today, they are still run by several operators.

With more than 200 images, this book is an illustrated celebration of Class 37s throughout the years.
