Dante's Paradiso
Rounding off three days of successful testing on its return to the mainline, DB Cargo's born-again Class 92, 92029 "Dante" flies through Acton Bridge with unneeded insurance loco, Class 90, 90035 in tow.
The third and final days testing of this initial stint involved a long run out to Carlisle and back - the first time a DB Cargo Class 92 had been north of Warrington since 2015. The return leg was running as 0Z92 13:27 Carlisle New Yard to Crewe Electric Traction Depot.
The Brush Traction locomotive has returned after eight years and two months in store and is poised to bolster DB's active UK Tunnel/HS1 fleet. Before that, though, an imminent trip to Toton's paint shop beckons.
