10W is now preserved at the Tramway Heritage Centre in Bylands, Vic.

The track in the photo here today carries route 58 trams, connecting Toorak in the south with West Coburg in the north, along William Street, Melbourne.

It was re-numbered 10W in the 1970s to avoid number clashes with Melbourne's then new Z1 class trams (similar to no 90 just poking its nose into the scene in the right background) that were (for some reason) allocated numbers from 1 upward.

Works trams were displaced in about 2002 by rubber-tyred vehicles which are now used to perform all works tasks. By that time, 10W would have been 94 years old, so that is a pretty fair retirement age by anyone's standard.

Today's West Highland service run by Scotrail offers 6 return services each day operated by modern railcars. Whilst today's trains are less characterful than the class 37s of the 1980s, and you can no longer stick your head through the window, the service is faster and more frequent, and the West Highland scenery is no less spectacular.

There is today also a loco-hauled overnight sleeper train between Fort William and London operated by Caledonian Sleeper that calls here at Crianlarich en-route

Loco-hauled West Highland line trains were replaced by self-propelled railcars in late 1988 or early 1989. Most 37 class locos have now been retired, but a number have been preserved and a handful do continue to run in revenue service today although they are used on secondary services and no longer haul passenger trains.

37422 found herself in ownership of freight operator Direct Rail Services after privatisation of British Rail. She remained operational for many years, but is now in storage.
