What train did I see at Boness & Kinneil 10th June?

My first post on this bit of the forum. This afternoon I saw a train heading towards the Manual/Whitecross junction of the B&K with the Edinburgh-Glasgow line. I am not very au fait with new fangled things like diesels but was intrigued to see three of them at the front of a train of maroon and blood & custard coaches.

The first 2 locos were maroon so I guess West Coast and maybe 37s. The third loco was blue and yellow and very angular.

Does anybody know any more about this train? it must have left Boness at about 15.30

Thanks for that. Any idea what the third one was?

Would have been a Bo'ness 26 or 27

Thanks for the reply I was driving and saw the train across a field so my ident might be iffy but, having looked up Class 26 and Class 27 photos I don't think that it was either of them.

Possibly 37175?

Thanks

I looked up photos of Class 37s and it definitely wasn't that. It was quite angular and didn't have rounded ends. I found a picture of a Class 20 on the SRPS website which looks a bit more like the thing I saw but mine had a lot more yellow on it.
