RE: GB Railfreight
66797 has arrived in the country and has been forwarded to Doncaster Roberts Road by 66791. I am not currently sure on the history of this one but I suspect it has come from Germany. --- Thanks Ant Check out my YouTube Channel updated regularly at 18:00 Most Days; https://www.youtube.com/c/apdmediatransp...nel/videos Check out my content on Flickr: https://www.flickr.com/photos/envirohunter https://www.flickr.com/photos/envirohunter/albums Updated recently with a trip down to the South Coast in 2021 & Railway Pictures from 2017. |

It was built new in 2004 and has works number EMD 20038513-9 belonging in the same batch as longer term ex EU residents 66750 and 66751. --- Thanks Ant Check out my YouTube Channel updated regularly at 18:00 Most Days; https://www.youtube.com/c/apdmediatransp...nel/videos Check out my content on Flickr: https://www.flickr.com/photos/envirohunter https://www.flickr.com/photos/envirohunter/albums Updated recently with a trip down to the South Coast in 2021 & Railway Pictures from 2017. |

RE: GB Railfreight
66795 has been collected from Immingham Docks today and taken to Doncaster Roberts Road. It is the former 561-05 last operated for Freightliner Germany in their bright orange livery. Built in 2004 it has works number EMD 20038561-5. 66798 should be here soon that is also ex Freightliner Germany 561-03. Once again built in 2004 this one has works number 20038561-3. I Believe these 2 are both low geared examples for heavier loadings like Freightliner's 66/6s so are limited to 60mph vice the usual 75mph. --- Thanks Ant Check out my YouTube Channel updated regularly at 18:00 Most Days; https://www.youtube.com/c/apdmediatransp...nel/videos Check out my content on Flickr: https://www.flickr.com/photos/envirohunter https://www.flickr.com/photos/envirohunter/albums Updated recently with a trip down to the South Coast in 2021 & Railway Pictures from 2017. |

RE: GB Railfreight
Could that pave the way for longer freight trains in the uk |

RE: GB Railfreight
Probably not, the length of a train is determined by the length of passing loops on that particular route and I can’t see NR lengthening those any time soon |

Quite a lot of DB workings usually operated by a Class 60 have to have wagons removed when a 66 has to stand in. --- Thanks Ant Check out my YouTube Channel updated regularly at 18:00 Most Days; https://www.youtube.com/c/apdmediatransp...nel/videos Check out my content on Flickr: https://www.flickr.com/photos/envirohunter https://www.flickr.com/photos/envirohunter/albums Updated recently with a trip down to the South Coast in 2021 & Railway Pictures from 2017. |

66779 currently out of use at Birch Coppice having derailed and collided with the buffers. Minor damage and was a gear selection error. --- Thanks Ant Check out my YouTube Channel updated regularly at 18:00 Most Days; https://www.youtube.com/c/apdmediatransp...nel/videos Check out my content on Flickr: https://www.flickr.com/photos/envirohunter https://www.flickr.com/photos/envirohunter/albums Updated recently with a trip down to the South Coast in 2021 & Railway Pictures from 2017. |
