Class 37 – D6732
Power Type Diesel Electric
Builder English Electric Company,
Newton-le-Willows
Build Date 1962
Location North Norfolk Railway
The locomotive is one of over 300 English Electric Type 3s delivered between 1960 and 1965 as part of British Railways’ modernisation plan. D6732 was initially allocated to Hull Dairycoates depot and worked passenger and freight trains in the North West for much of her career. In 1996, the locomotive became the first Class 37 to work in preservation when she hauled her first train on the North Norfolk Railway where she is still based.

East of the Coaling Tipple in East Altoona, Pennsylvania, c. 1957. Prominent here is Pennsylvania Railroad engine #6743, an M-1A (4-8-2) "Mountain" built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works during July of 1930 and retired in February of 1956 after 26 years of service. Note that the main driving rod has been removed in preparation for movement to the Recycling Center. Partially visible in the foreground is the East Altoona Turntable. In the background, empty freight cars are being processed via HOMER Tower from the Westbound Receiving Yard (at right) into the Westbound Classification Yard (at left).
