60040 Territorial Army Centenary approaches Nottingham station with 6M57, 07:52 Lindsey – Kingsbury loaded oil tanks, 4th February 2016.
Locomotive History
60040 was built at Brush, Loughborough at the beginning of 1991 and was eventually accepted into traffic on the 6th February 1992, allocated to Stewarts Lane MPD for construction traffic duties. I first saw 60040 at the Brush works on the 12th April 1991. Between June 2005 and September 2011 it was in and out of store on a regular basis. However in June 2008 it was selected for repainting into a promotional livery for the Army and lost its Brecon Beacons nameplates in favour of The Territorial Army Centenary, which were unveiled at the National Railway Museum, York. In November 2011 it entered the class 60 overhaul programme at Toton and was released back into traffic in June 2012 repainted into Standard DB Schenker red livery.
