Five new locomotives for UK rail operator


GB Railfreight (GBRf) has agreed to bring an additional five class 66 locomotives from Germany to the UK, in cooperation with Beacon Rail Leasing. The first two, classified as 29004/29005, have already been delivered to EMD Doncaster, ready for conversion to GBRf’s specification and UK railway standards. The remaining three locomotives will be delivered in 2021.
