Delivering the best, GB Railfreight
GB Railfreight are keen on delivering the best service possible so with the first of GB Railfreight's new Class 66 diesel locomotives seen on the 14/07/14 on there final part of the delivery trip from America by rail and sea this the move from Newport Dock to Doncaster lead by older Class 66 locomotive, 66737, which here leads the 5 new ones down towards Doncaster through Denaby, Mexborough, Rotherham working 0X66 Newport Docks to Doncaster Robert's Rd Electromotive Depot the locomotives numbered in running order, 66737, 66752, 66753, 66754, 66756 & 66755 the new ones behind not been commissioned at Newport Docks and been commissioned later at Robert's Rd, Doncaster. It's nice to see some new locomotives arrive in the UK especially for GB Railfreight the ever expanding Europorte outfit running freight trains mainly around the East Coast mainline out of Doncaster, Peterborough, Immingham and the port of Felixstowe with other major contracts with Drax power station and Ironbridge with Biomas trains among other work it carried out as well who have recently picked up a lot of work from DB Schenker UK and a few trains from Freightliner too thus needing to bump up its locomotive fleet with some electric and ED second hand locomotives on the way as well, Class 73 & Class 92, and the spot hired Class 47's it is currently using around Doncaster too. The locomotives are General Motors built JT42CWR EMD710 engined Class 66's and are one of the most common locomotives not only within GB Railfreight but also within the UK its self with most major freight operating companies running the type which is built in America before been shipped over much like the General Electric build Class 70 diesel locomotive of which Colas Railfreight are the latest customer. As of the 14/07/14 all 5 new locos remain on Robert's Rd and have not been used on a revenue earning freight train however it wont be long now while here the sheds follow each other in a nice line around the curve just north east of Denaby foot crossing its self looking rather fresh as they go.
