On January 19th, 2026, DB Cargo UK announced the sale of 25 Class 66 locomotives to Romanian railfreight operator Grup Ferroviar Roman. The locos are surplus to requirement in the UK and were therefore offered for sale by the British company.
DB Cargo UK shared an image showing the first loco (66014) in a blue livery at its Toton depot in Nottinghamshire. All locos will be brought up to operational standards if required and painted in blue before leaving the UK. 66014 is expected to leave the UK before the end of the month. The final deliveries are scheduled to take place by mid-2028.
Many thanks to you, dear readers and contributors, for your support and input in 2025. Happy New Year and cheers to 2026!
In the last month of 2025, CTV 2016 750-3 could be seen running for Czech operator Metrans Rail in Germany covering 'Elbtal Umleiter' duties. Normally, the loco operates in Romania only, so the short trip abroad was a remarkable sight.
