37234 Magor 4 September 1986

37234 weaves across from the down relief to the down main line at Magor on 4 September 1986 with an empty rake of HAA coal hoppers. This is the only picture I have of this locomotive before it was converted to a Class 37/5 (37685) a few months after this picture was taken. The period feel to this picture is enhanced by the vintage coaches parked in the station yard, which dating from 1968 and 1969 were already classics when the photo was taken!
