37324/37099 (D6799)
English Electric Works No.3228 / Vulcan Works No. D753. Completed December 1962.
The following information on the history of 37 099 has been compiled from many sources with the help of numerous people, too many to name individually, but to who we are most grateful. However I must acknowledge the Class 37 Locomotive Group for the use of information from their impressive website at www.cl37lg.co.uk. and The 1980’s Timewarp website www.timewarp.abelgratis.com/ch/classic.html
Hopefully, whilst reading this it may jog your memory and encourage you to get that old spotting book or photo’s from the attic, or maybe you have haulage logs, any information you have, no matter how small in relation to 37 099 will be gladly appreciated
