Here DB Cargo 66108 crosses Coldrenick Viaduct near Menheniot with a load of 9 JIA Imerys bogie covered hopper china clay wagons. Photo credit – Mark Simpson

Pioneer class 66 on Departmental trip
by admin on Sep.15, 2008, under Photo News
The original EWS ‘Shed’ 66001, aka ‘Kevin’, passes through Sutton Park on the 12:27 6D44 Bescot to Toton departmental working. 66001 and 66002 are different to the other 248 members of the class in that they do not have buckeye couplers and therefore cannot be used on coal trains.
