Manufacturer description

60062 entered service on 17 June 1991 with Railfreight (Petroleum) named as Samuel Johnson, a name the locomotive retained until November 1996. Having been absorbed into the EWS fleet, like the rest of the class 60062 was subjected to the EWS seasonal storage roundabout; returning to service for the Winter traffic peak and the being returned to storage during the quieter Summer period.
