LSG's Black 90 Debut (1)
With the engineer on board who led the project to reinstate this locomotive in 2019/2020 when both were at DB Cargo, Locomotive Services Group's latest acquisition, Class 90, 90026 makes its debut for its new owners - flying through Hartford with 5Z47 0930 Crewe Holding Sidings to Carnforth North Junction.
As well as giving 90026 its first test run under its new ownership, the trip to Carnforth was also being used to shakedown the Statesman Rail stock post-refurbishment, ahead of returning to revenue-earning service later in the week.
The southbound leg of the run would also allow 90002 "Wolf of Badenoch" (on the rear in this photo) a run out after traction motor repairs.
Consist: 90026 + 6311 17056 3229 3231 80043 3438 3312 3426 1863 3344 3348 3384 + 90002
