I used to love listening to the 37s opening up leaving Kilwinning on the Ravenscraig iron ore trains.
2 X 37/3 from Motherwell depot.
It was beautifully described in the old Rail Enthusiast magazine. Words along the lines of
' ....many holiday makers on the idyllic Ayrshire coast will have been rudley awoken by 2 Motherwell 37s spitting blood as the erupted from Hunterston.'
Sad to say that those days are gone. No iron ore, no coal. Just the DRS train for the power station
