92031 Dollands Moor to Wembley 6B20 (6B41) eau minerale Danone bottled mineral water (Evian, Volvic, Perrier) from France for Daventry
DB Schenker Rail (UK) Ltd's class 92 number 92031 works 6B20 from Dollands Moor to Wembley European Freight Operations Centre on 15 September 2014 hauling G.E. Rail Services owned IZA (GE117CT Hfirrs 3) semi-perminantly coupled 4-wheeled CARGOWAGGON vans with shared running numbers built by Duewag. Having started out in France and passed through the channel tunnel these vans are used to transport Danone bottled mineral water (eau minerale) including Evian imported from the French Alps, Volvic from the Massif Central and Perrier which is loaded into the vans near Nimes in the Languedoc-Roussillon region of southern France (the source of Perrier being at Vergeze about 15 km southwest of Nimes). (and Badoit?). From Wembley this train continues on route to Crick under headcode 6B41 and is ultimately unloaded at a distribution warehouse at Daventry International Rail Freight Terminal (DIRFT).
Wagons being hauled included numbers 8029291586, 8029291990, 8028292890, 23 80 2929 014-1, 23 80 2929 069-5, 23 80 2829 294-0, 23 80 2829 278-3, 23 80 2929 030-7, 23 80 2929 182-6, 23 80 2929 108-1, 23 80 2829 243-7, 23 80 2929 180-0, 23 80 2929 020-8, 23 80 2929 095-0, 23 80 2929 011-7, 23 80 2829 226-2, 23 80 2829 299-9, 23 80 2929 197-4, 23 80 2929 042-2, 23 80 2929 167-7 and 23 80 2829 242-9 (thanks to Noisynoel for filling in the gap).
A similar set of cargowaggon vans was photographed by Nicolas Villenave on 9 May 2014 returning empty passing through Écaillon (department Nord) on their way from Calais Frethun to Culoz railway junction in the Ain department in the Rhône-Alpes region of France, by Mattias Catry at Boisleux-au-Mont on 9 September 2012 and by Laurent Knop at Béthisy-St.-Pierre, Picardie in the Oise department on 12 March 2014.
92031 (works number BT1091) 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.
After working to Wembley 92031 continued to Daventry as 6B41 (92031 WFBC WEMBLEYYD 726B41CJ15 8 * DAVTRYREC N 20D A) and then returned southwards as 0A42 (92031 WFBC DAVTRYREC 700A42CP15 F WEMBLEYYD N).
