Manufacturer description

Delivered into Newport Docks on board the MV Stellamare in May 1999, 66113 entered service with the EWS livery of maroon bodyside and roof, with zigzag yellow stripes, EWS branding on the cabs and large EWS branding on the bodysides. The locomotive was transferred to DB Schenker (Later DB Cargo UK) in January 2009 after their buyout of EWS.
