37025
Preserved or not? No one would ever expect a Class 37s on the mainline in 2016 and certainly not on freight train, sort of.

37033
Waiting its next turn 37033 sits at Eastfield depot on 26th February 1984, and judging by the lack of steam pipe on No. 2 end, would be exempt from passenger duties.
