Three Tractors and a Shed at Deepcar & Woodburn Junction - 7060+064

            * Woodburn Junction
With now three tractors having been in the area, they were complimented by three 'stalwarts' of the rail scene in these parts, Keith was already here having lunch whilst sat on his milk crate when I arrived and BonsoirBaz turned up just before the light engine move set off towards Woodhouse Junction; the video which follows shows a brief glimpse of Keith watching the scene, from his milk crate position! So after about 20 minutes of chat, the 2nd of the set, this time with 2 class 37s turned up from the east, having come up this way round from Derby. What a happenstance that the 'boys' mentioned there may well be another working passing through the area as when they had last looked it hadn't set off, checking quickly it was 22 minutes late departing but was not approaching this area and was now only a few minutes late, and what a sight it was. I hadn't expected anything like this running on a class 5, E.C.S., headcode, the complete set was colourful, clean and a bit unusual with the two 37s, 37069 and 37059 at the front, not top-and-tail, though they wouldn't have required this configuration on the route they were on, with a Loram Rail coach behind and at the back one of Network Rail's canary yellow test coaches, 
the U.T.U. No. 2, Ultrasonic Test Unit. Some information about the two 37s which haven't been seen, by me, in these parts before-
