6781 passes Walsall


Class 37 number 6781 was seen at Walsall on a rainy day in 1971 with 8M65 freight. Dave Hayes advises that this train was a Tyne - Brierley Hill steel service, which was also booked to call at Wednesbury.

The loco was renumbered to 37081 in 1974, then to 37797 in 1986. 37797 was stored in 2003, being cut up at Booths Rotherham by February 2006.
