Exhausting
Much as I enjoy seeing Class 37s, this one wasn't the most pleasant to photograph. 37219 sat under the high level concourse at Reading, waiting to leave with 3Q60, the 22:42 Reading Triangle Sidings to Westbury Down T.C. test train, on the evening of 19 February 2025. The headlight beam is visible because it was shining through a cloud of exhaust trapped by the roof and filling the whole area. A case of, take a deep breath, go in, get the shot and leave as quickly as possible.
