37401 County March Summit 11 August 1997

37401 Mary Queen of Scots approaches County March Summit, near Tyndrum Upper in typically gloomy West Highland weather on 11 August 1997 with the 1Y11 05:05 Edinburgh (ex Euston) to Fort William ScotRail sleeper service. Despite the poor weather conditions, this picture is included here as it is the only time I saw this locomotive in Transrail livery. As I did not visit Scotland during the late 1980s or early 1990s (big mistake!), I missed out on this pioneer Class 37/4's first three liveries (large logo, InterCity Mainline and Railfreight Distribution). As it turned out it wasn't the end of its various colour schemes, however.
