92030 Dollands Moor to Wembley 6B20 Danone bottled mineral water (Evian, Badoit, Volvic) from France
DB Schenker's class 92 number 92030 named "Ashford" in EWS two tone Railfreight Grey livery hauling 42 Cargowaggon 4-wheeled vans semi-permanently coupled in pairs with shared a running numbers between Dollands Moor and Wembley European Freight Operations Centre on 5 March 2014. On arriving at Wembley the locomotive was switched for 92041 that continued on with 6B41 to Daventry (railwayherald.com/imagingcentre/view/321470/IS35637901140...). It was last photographed by me here on 27 January 2014 (www.flickr.com/photos/99279135@N05/12178554755/in/photoli...) working the same service.
92030 was assembled by the BRUSH Traction Company Loughborough in 1995, from sub-contracted components e.g. Procor UK bodyshell, Asea Brown Boveri (ABB Rail) traction converters and GTO (Gate Turn-Off thyristor) controlled via the MICAS-S2 electronics system, retractable third rail collector shoes and pantographs made by Brecknell Willis, the engraved aluminium BRUSH traction works plates made by J M Ranger Limited of Leicester and cast aluminium based alloy Crew Depot plaque produced by David Newton of Nottingham. For track to train communications class 92s were fitted with the Siemens International Train Radio (ITR) "chameleon" system which could automatically change over to match local ground systems e.g. at international boarders and allowed the driver to select from a range of language settings. STS Signals Ltd supplied electronic Train Protection and Warning System (TPWS) control units for class 92s as an add on to the Automatic Warning System (AWS) equipment. STS Signals Ltd also developed a twin-lightweight AWS receiver for use on class 92s so that only one receiver was needed to detect both standard strength magnets on lines powered by AC overhead wires (Rx1) as well as the extra strength magnets used on DC third rail lines (Rx2). All non-metallic components of the class 92 were either certified for Eurotunnels fire regulations by the manufacturers or where suppliers could not provide this information products such as the divers seat (made by Chapman Seating Limited) and plastic push buttons were fire tested by BRUSH.
