Good to see freight on the Cambrian again. The two class 97’s actually made light work of the load as they passed my cottage in Llanbrynmair at the bottom of Tallerddig.

The 97s (as Network Rail departmental numbering calls 37s) are the only locomotives fitted with the ERTMS/ETCS signalling equipment necessary for the Cambrian Line, alongside the Transport for Wales 158 (and in future some 197) units. So the 97s have to be used for freight and charters as well as Network Rail work.
