RMweb Premium richierich Posted December 22, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 22, 2015 Working in Accrington, Lancashire today and noticed the Preston to Lindsay tanks running so I went to Rishton Station expecting to see a Colas Class 60 but instead 66847 was on the front of the train. I think this is the first Colas Class 66 to be used on the train. DSCF2113.JPG A bit of a surprise there, because I know EWS did a trial run with a 66 hauling the tanks up the Preston Docks branch to the station. It really struggled and apparently slipped to a stand in Fishergate Tunnel! A later trial with a 60, there was no such issues. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steadfast Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 On the class 70 thread there's mention of the Poland bound Freightliner class 66s. What surprises me is that there's very little in common in the various locos being sent, they're from all different batches with corresponding build variations. I'd have thought it would've made sense to send a batch of identical locos Jo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steadfast Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 (edited) It's something to do with the auto start stop (AESS) being fitted to our 66s. You can tell which ones are done by them having orange and white stickers on th cab doors (as well as on the battery boxes on some). The similar aerial on the cooler group end (and also fitted to 60s, 67s, 59s, ex EWS 47s and I presume 37s) is the GPS antenna Jo Edited December 22, 2015 by Steadfast 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamesb Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 66's. What spiffing machines to spend time on... 66 on Arpley sidings. I didn't get the number. 66198 with (I think) the tripper to Marcroft wagon works at Stoke. 66 004 in Black and white at Halewood sidings. 66 110 in the JLR (Jaguar Land Rover) compound, Halewood. 66 107 running round the Folly Lane trip at Northwich. 66 136 at Wigan, Springs Branch depot. Sent to muster the cranes for a derailment near Immingham, by the time we'd finished farting about they were no longer needed... They didn't need us so lets go home.... 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerhaul 70 Pey Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 GBRF 66753 waits at Liverpool Biomass Terminal today as a lorry ignores the newly installed level crossing and barrier and attempts to cross the line as 59003 was about to depart to Tuebrook Sidings with another biomass train with GBRF 66718 on the rear. Luckily, the bloke in the photo managed to stop the lorry in it's tracks before any incident occurred. Here is the recently installed level crossing and barriers. This was the train departing 66718 at the rear of the train being hauled out of the docks by 59003 destined for Tuebrook Sidings passing another level crossing just down the road. 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily, the bloke in the photo managed to stop the lorry in it's tracks before any incident occurred. ironically the crossing you can see in the background of your pic is the one i had a lorry ignore the lights and cross in front of me when i was collecting a couple of 70s from seaforth, i got down and "had a word" as he'd stopped at the weighbridge alongside the tracks, the whole thing was witnessed by the head of safety for peel ports too! im sure mike delamar can answer this, does the 66 bank the train up to walton as it were or the 59 do all the work Edited January 27, 2016 by big jim 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
