2013-04-19 - [GB/DE] GBRf acquires two more Class 66 from the mainland?

Home News Archive 2013-04-19 - [GB/DE] GBRf acquires two more Class 66 from the mainland?

According to WNXX we can expect two more Class 66 locomotives from the European Mainland to enter service with GB Railfreight (GBRf) in the UK. The locos in question will not arrive there from Germany before the summer. Their expected new service numbers are 66750 and 66751, but which locos are involved still remains unknown.



It's not the first time GBRf acquires Class 66 locomotives from mainland Europe. Three units that were foreseen for Crossrail Benelux (but didn't see service) are currently with GBRf, numbered 66747, 66748 and 66749. Modifications for the UK railway system are now in progress. A fresh paint job for at least one of the three locos is expected for next month.
