ROG completes work on first ‘37’ for EMU haulage

Rail Operations Group 37884, hired from Europhoenix, hauls 375620 and 375616 through Otford Junction on November 28, with the 0309 Derby Litchurch Lane-Ramsgate. Both ‘375s’ had been refurbished by Bombardier. DAVID STAINES.

Rail Operations Group (ROG) has become the first UK train operator to modify locomotives for the routine movement of electric multiple units. The company has modified 37884 as it looks to expand its presence in the rail services market.

“Having gained huge support from the industry, we invested in our ambition and launched a project in June to acquire and modify a small fleet of Class 37 locomotives. Just five months later, the first one has entered EMU haulage service,” said ROG Operations Director Dave Burley.
