DB Cargo (UK) Ltd. is sending an additional five Class 66 locomotives to France. The locos involved are 66193, 66201, 66204, 66213 and 66232. The five locos have all been prepared at DB Cargo's workshop in Toton, where they were not only adapted technically but also cosmetically (ECR logos, warning stripes, inscriptions etc.). On October 15, 66193 66201 and 66213 were waiting further transfer to France at Dollands Moor Yard. Two days later on the 17th, 66204 and 66232 were out on test prior to the start of their French adventure.


Also on October 15, 66193, 66201 and 66213 are already waiting at Dollands Moor for their trip to France. On October 16, the three were moved through the Channel Tunnel. Picture by Howard Lewsey.
