0002 008-6 (F-ECR) Alizay 23 05 2011
92 87 0002 008-6 sits stored waiting for ECR to get a new contract.
This is a Sub Type G2000-3 built by Vossloh, Kiel [D] for what was Angel Trains, (now Alpha Trains).
With little of the expected work, these loks were often stored or sub leased out before being handed back to Alpha Trains.
92 87 0002 007-8 (Works No. 5001640 was built 2007 and seems to have been immediately (?) leased to ECR.
Loks-auskiel have it delivered on 22/10/2008 to Angel Trains, but also has photographs of it in ECR livery in 2007 on the lok’s page.
So either the lease date is correct and it was another ECR G2000 or the lease date is incorrect.
With the lok’s originally not carrying UIC’s, it is quite possible that the photographer mislabelled the lok. Quite possible as the only ID would be the small worksplate as it zoomed past.
So “Leased to ECR either 2007 or 2008 through to February 2018.
It was definitely sub-leased out while with ECR, though dates are not clear (common with French based loks due to lack of information).
Firstly, sub-leased to EPF - Europorte France SAS, Lille [F] (noted with them on 12/09/2012).
And was next sub-leased to ETMF SAS - Entreprise de Transport de Matériel Ferroviaire, Boissise-le-Roi [F] followed by a direct lease after ECR handed it back.
Unfortunately, there is no good source I have found in France for private loks.
And no one seems to be supplying the info to the great team at loks-aus-kiel.de for their database.
The last photo they have of it is 2018, while Flickr doesn’t have any photos of it at all, except mine.
I am aware from an official French UIC database that it was one of 16 G2000s with a VKM of F-EMTF on 30/08/2022, and that it was officially authorised for France and Belgium.
But nothing since then.
There are errors on that database as well (EG: 92 87 0002 008-6 is noted as built in 2008, not 2007).
