According to WNXX a path is in RTT for the second of the European locos to be brought to EMD Longport. It is not dated but the loco will be 66998 Europe number 266.018 and Crossrail number PB13 Ilse.

Finally saw Crossrail 6601 outside the EMD Depot at Longport yesterday.

A path has been booked at 1400 today to move Captrain 6601 from Longport to Hull KG5 Dock.
The next European locomotive to arrive at EMD Longport is expected to be Crossrail PB13 in a few weeks time.

Seems dellner fitted 37s are not the long term answer for ROG... A soon to be finalised order of 10x Tri Mode Class 93 locomotives is well and truly on the cards. Similar to the 88 but with a more powerful diesel engine and also can operate on battery power. The loco's will come complete with the coupling gear modded to the 37s over the last few years and will have their own variation of the blue livery applied to 47813 and 47815.

66998 is due to be moved to the UK on 11 December.
RE: Rail Operations Group (ROG) / Europhoenix - childwallblues - 10/12/2018 18:51
A path is now in RTT for tomorrow at 1300 to move 66998 from Hull to Longport.

Europhoenix have acquired 37146, 37188 and 37207 from Colas.

Crossrail 66998 (PB13) was moved yesterday from Hull to Longport by 37601
The route taken by this movement is unusual. As EMD Longport is not directly accessable from Stoke-on-Trent the train has to pass the depot and proceed to Alsager to run round.
RE: Rail Operations Group (ROG) / Europhoenix - ant17612 - 01/04/2019 12:53
Crossrail 66997 (PB15) has arrived at Longport behind 47813.
