[NL/BE/FR/UK] Brand new Europorte 4013 and a class66 transport

Home Stadler Rail Valencia EURO 4000 Europorte France EURO 4000 [NL/BE/FR/UK] Brand new Europorte 4013 and a class66 transport
Okay, we are focussing more in electrics, but this picture is too nice not to show. The new Europorte no.4013 bringing three left-over class66 locomotives from The Netherlands to France. There they continued their journey through the Channel Tunnel to the UK.

The three grey Class66 locomotives have been built a few years ago for Crossrail Benelux. However, the operator cancelled the order and the units, originally numbered as DE6313/15/16, were never delivered as such and stored in Roosendaal (NL).

Recently they were sold to GB Railfreight from the UK, that will operate them as 66747, 66749 and 66748. - MS/MLD/MC
