It was always easy to know there was a class 37 nearby because I used to live near the Edinburgh south suburban freight only line in the late 1990s and there were usually at least 3 or 4 class 37 workings late at night or in the early hours of the morning. I would often leave my window open in the still of the night and they would have a very distinctive, sometimes spooky engine noise as they climbed the long hill up to Morningside especially since it was near a wooded area and an old graveyard.
