37906 & 37905 pass Healey Mills on 12 December 1998 with the Pathfinder Tours 1Z47 13:40 Sheffield to Reading 'The Blade & Owl' railtour. Although various freight traction was used on the tour, it was the use of a pair of 37/9s that was the highlight of the day. The 37s were booked to join the train at Wakefield Kirkgate late on the afternoon of what was becoming a very dull day. Unfortunately by the time they appeared at Healey Mills they were running 25 minutes late, and it was nearly dark! This explains the terrible quality of this picture. However, it was worth recording, as this was billed as the last passenger working for the subclass, in fact 37905 had been specially reinstated to work this train! |
