Class 37 Locomotives

Class 37 locomotives are versatile diesel-electric engines used primarily in the UK for freight and passenger services. Built between 1960 and 1965, they have a robust design with a powerful engine that drives electrical generators to power their traction motors. Recognizable by their distinctive shape and often orange livery, they are valued for their reliability and ability to operate on varied tasks, including hauling heavy freight trains or passenger coaches. Over the years, many have been preserved or modified, reflecting their importance in British railway history.
