Mons Meg's Empties
AC Locomotive Group's Class 86, 86 401 "Mons Meg" - on hire to GB Railfreight - prepares to haul the Caledonian Sleeper Lowlander ECS move from Euston to Wembley InterCity Depot (5M11).
Just a couple of weeks after this photo was taken an ETH fault curtailed 53 year-old veteran 86401's loyal service working the Caledonian Sleeper ECS. It was subsequently off-leased on 31 March. As yet there are no confirmed plans for Mons Meg and the other two AC Locomotive Group engines after their time on the Sleepers ends - however there are rumours some or all may follow many of their class-mates to Eastern Europe.
