PHOTO-SPECIAL 12

At the end of March 2007, a new batch of 8 Class 66 locomotives was transported from Halifax (Nova Scotia, Canada) to Newport Docks (U.K.) by Jumboship MV Fairlift. On board were Freightliner UK 66582-66586 and 66625 (all from order 20058772) and European EU06 and EU07 (from order 20058725). The UK ones were unloaded on March 26th and 27th as shown on the pictures below.
After that, the MV Fairlift headed to Rotterdam for unloading the EU06 and EU07 on March 30th. Next batch of 66s from Canada will be end of April.
