Class 66, 66541
Electro-Motive Diesel Inc. Type JT42CWR Class 66 diesel electric locomotive 66541 heads the daily 10:28 Freightliner 4M88 Felixstowe South- Crewe Basford Hall intermodal southbound through Chelmsford Station on the Great Eastern Main Line.
The caged signal device on the left is called a 'banner repeater' and these are positioned when the driver cannot see a forthcoming colour aspect signal. In this case it's for the down signal at the other end of this platform (the up line) during bi-directional workings. The banner aspect is 'on' (the following signal is on stop/danger). When a banner repeater is 'off' (the following signal is on green/proceed) the display bar will be at 45 degrees.
