PHOTO-SPECIAL 5

On May 29th 2006 three brandnew Class 66 loco's for Direct Rail Services were unloaded from Jumboship Daniella. They arrived from Canada. After unloading, the loco's were transported the next day by another DRS loco, 66403. Also on the ship were European black Class 66's with numbers JT-1, JT-9 and JT-10. These arrived in Rotterdam 31rd of May 2006. These loco's will be finished assembling in Tilburg Works. The European ones are owned by the leasing-company Mitsui Rail Capital Europe (MRCE).

Thanks to Tom Bartlett and Bob Sweet for sending the nice pictures!
