Filmed in FULL HD. English Electric Class 37/4, 37401 'Mary Queen of Scots' is seen operating in an running evening at the Bo'ness railway - to help raise funds to get resident loco 37025 back on the mainline - a few days after it was confirmed that Direct Rail Services were taking the locomotive back for mainline use it meant that this was one of the last opportunities to see and bash this locomotive in preservation. Due steam failures on the railway it meant that 37401 worked all the usual Saturday services as well as the 'extra' evening ones. So in this video we have some clips of the loco making plenty of noise (with the best at 1:52) on its final few services on the railway from throughout the day with its final service being the next day on Sunday the 6th of July in which I have not filmed. Between two of the services an nice addition to this loco to make it more like what it did when it was based at Eastfield depot when it was frequently used on the West Highland line with the headcode box being painted black. Also look out for another video I have uploaded from clips when I bashed some of the services on this day. A list of clips with where they were filmed and the time they are at in the video 1. 37401 is seen running round the train in Bo'ness station (0:00) 2.
