The last untouched Class 60

[TravisM]

I’m trying to find out which was the last Class 60 to remain in Railfreight triple grey and still carrying it’s original sector decals and nameplates.  I seem to remember seeing  60054 at Westbury around 2007/8, still in triple grey, carrying it’s Petroleum decals and it’s “Charles Babbage” nameplate.  I lost the pictures of it when I later uploaded them onto my fotopic site, and when it went t*ts up, taking my pictures with it .

 

I was wondering if 60054 was the last untouched Class 60 or was there another example that lasted a bit longer?

60054 was indeed the last, survived until 2011 when stopped for overhaul.

60054 was the last in petroleum, I think 60057 may have been (one of) the last in coal sector, but only as late as 2006.

After that most sucummbed to the big beastie stickers. There were quite a few 3g with various different brandings, Transrail, Loadhaul and hybrids.
