Manufacturer description

One of the newer Class 66 operating in the UK, the Beacon Rail owned locomotive first entered the country through the Channel Tunnel clad in plain grey livery at the end of 2012. After reaching GB Railfreight the livery was updated to include orange GBRF lettering, with minor modifications occurring to ready the locomotive for service in the UK. The locomotive received the number 66748. The grey and orange GBRf livery remained until April 2015 when the locomotive was repainted into the more common blue and orange GBRf livery.
