Chinook and Couperin
Close up of GBRf Class 66, 66 723 with its special ZA723 "Chinook" livery, incorporating the crests (from left to right) of 7, 18 and 27 Squadrons RAF. In contrast, 92 044 "Couperin" sports its original Railfreight grey livery, which still looks classically smart almost 22 years after the locomotive was rolled out of the Brush works in Loughborough.
66723 was tucked inside 92044 on 6S94, which was running 158 Late at Acton Bridge after a 2.5 hours wait in the Up Goods Loop at Rugby due to a wheelflat issue with one of the wagons.
The GBRf traction for this working was as follows:
92 028 + 92 044 Frethun - Dollands Moor (Channel Tunnel)
66 723 + 92 044 6D94 Dollands Moor - Wembley
92 044 + 66 723 6S94 Wembley - Carlisle New Yard
66 723 Carlisle New Yard - Irvine Caledonian Paper GBRf
