Eastleigh, 6th February 2016


All three GBRf former Netherlands grey Class 66's were in Eastleigh today, 66747 and 66748 at the station, and 66749 on the works, where it could proceed to repaint. 66747 (EMD 20078968-007 of 2008) was DE6316 ("92 80 1266 286-4"]) when intended for Crossrail Benelux.
66414 with 4O27 05:21 Garston - Maritime.
70005 is in pool DFGH (Class 70 Freightliner Heavy Haul) so only makes occasional forays to Southampton, here with 4O54 05:27 Leeds - Maritime. My last Class 70 is now 'copped',with the exception of the near impossible 70012.
66132 with 4O39 from Morris Cowley to Eastern Docks.
70003 (also DFGH) leads a dead 70019 on 4O29 08:15 Basford Hall - Maritime.
