A long day's haul of the ROG Colas class 37s TT & Freights at Masbrough South - 3874+898

            A set of pictures based on what turned out to be the very late arrival of a Railway Operation Group pair of class 37s on a test train from Derby to Inverness but which appeared to have a couple of problem on the way with no subsequent indication it ever reached its destination! As a prelude to that, a couple of shots looking towards the north-west end on the old station site showing the still on-going work, right in the corner, of the bridge repairs caused by the collision of a white van with the bridge wall, last weekend. Passing by through the forest of buddleia  now rampantly sprouting up everywhere along the island platform, is an Arriva liveried class 185 on the hourly service back and forth between Manchester Piccadilly and Cleethorpes, this the 1B72. On the right, one of a handful of characters usually seen around these parts, this one very chatty and not driving a white van at the bridge; one of the bridge capping stones, wighting 2.5 tonnes or thereabouts and similar to the ones at the other end of the station, can be seen right in front of him to the left. On the right, the Rotherham United Football Club's old and new grounds can be seen above the red hatchback car, Millmoor in the foreground and the 'New York Stadium' in the background.
