Only reliable working codes for Freight on RTT are GBRF services. Most other freight companies conceal the codes for their workings on 'safety grounds'.

66528 on a very late running Coatbridge to Daventry service photographed at Winwick Junction yesterday.  After all the waiting around for what I thought would be a 70, it looks like they have put 66's back on as 66518 was on another service from Coatbridge to Daventry.

A strange working with GBRF 66750 heading from Tuebrook Sidings to Fiddlers Ferry and then back to Tuebrook.  I also noticed the larger buffers, two sets of pipework and different style of light clusters on this loco.  Is this so it is capable of passenger haulage?  Looking through my other photos of GBRF 66's none of the others seem to have the same configuration.  Photo taken at Warrington Bank Quay.

It's one of the ex-Euro 66's - originally in grey livery. I think they are 66748-750? (Will go and check)

 

Edit: 66747-749 in grey, (66747 being modified for UK use) 66750/751 in blue. 750/751 retained their double pipes and larger buffers.

 

Cheers,

Mick

The working

This is a German one and is a bit of a pain to couple up because of the longer buffers.

 

The loco for this working goes back to Tuebrook sidings then works one of the Biomass trains from the docks, while at the docks it is fueled.
