Nice shot, Kyle. Are those locos following UP Australia bound? They kind of remind me of some of the ones I've read about down under.

They are Class 66s bound for GB Railfreight in the UK

No, they're for the UK, where the majority of the type have been exported to.

No. They're bound for the United Kingdom. These are Class 66's and you can find more information about this particular movement here: http://www.mainlinediesels.net/index.php?nav=1000001&lang=en&id=8490&action=shownews

Those are Class 66's bound for the UK under the freight operator GBRf. Its pretty amazing to compare how small those units are compared to our US units. Great catch!
|
They're JT42CWRs for GB Railfreight in the UK.
|
Steve, from what I can tell, those locomotives are British Class 66s new from EMD.

The England rail system has a narrow loading gauge,the large containers now travel in well wagon,not the same as well wagons in the USA more of a depressed wagon I think is the word. The Australian rail systems are a larger loading gauge but small than the USA, the locos are light in weight I think 120-140 tons except in the Pilbara 200 tons give or take a little You may like to Google the UK rail system but there are picture on this great site from the UK

The British loading gauge, when compared to the US, is roughly half the size.
