EEG - Locomotives: D6835 / 37135 / 37888 / L024 / L31

Not all of the Class 37/7 locomotives that were hired to GIF in Spain made it through the contract. On May 26th 2006, L31 (ex-37888) and L30 (ex-37702) are seen at Puigverd de Llieda waiting for their fate due to collison damage and electrical failure.
