Class 37s In Glasgow Central This Evening, Bits & Bobs & Westerton Pics From Today

[jonnorail]

Hi all. Today I went to Westerton station to talk to a friend of mine that was working in the booking office who I hadn't spoken to or seen for a while and I had enough time to take a few photographs of local trains that come into the station (a Class 318 and 320) and also managed to take photographs a few views of the station. From Westerton I went to Glasgow Central High Level to take a few photographs of local train including Classs 156 437 which is the third Class 156 to be painted into the new Transport Scotland blue and white Saltire livery. I was also up at Glasgow Central High Level to take a few photographs of the Network Rail Mentor Test train which consisted of two D.R.S. Class 37 locomotives no.s 069 & 609.

thanks guys for your feedback. I have a railway job to do tomorrow for Railtalk magazine (magazine I work for as i'm sure most of you all know hehe). I'm not saying what the job is but if all goes to plan then it will be rare photograph opportunity. All I will say is the location of this job is in Glasgow Central High Level (h).

Best Regards
