A German adventure
Locomotive 59003 was modified for use on the European mainland in 1997 as part of a joint venture between Foster Yeoman and Deutsche Bahn: DB Yeoman GmbH. In 2001, the locomotive was acquired by Heavy Haul Power International (HHPI), also for use on German rails. On August 19, 2014 the locomotive was purchased from HHPI by GB Railfreight after which it returned to the UK.
