A brief history of 37109

37109 was built by English Electric in 1962 and entered service with British Rail, operating freight and passenger trains across the country. 37109 is lucky in the railway world, as it was never withdrawn from BR service, instead, it kept operating on the mainline all the way up to 2008, when it was withdrawn from service with EWS Railways (English, Welsh and Scottish Railways), where it was then sent to the East Lancashire Railway.
