Icebreakers at Rest
86901 CHIEF ENGINEER and 86902 RAIL VEHICLE ENGINEERING seen at York on 11th January 2007.
The locomotives were stationed here to travel along the ECML at night during winter to prevent the overhead wires from icing up. Of course if they ran overnight trains, this wouldn't be a problem...
