Description

DB Schenker Rail (UK) Ltd's class 66 (JT42CWR) number 66136 in English, Welsh and Scottish Railway maroon livery with zigzag gold band, large number and EWS logo. Here it is photographed returning towards France with the empty bottled water train working 6O67 from Daventry International Rail Freight Terminal (DIRFT) to Dollands Moor on 7 February 2015 hauling G.E. Rail Services owned IZA (GE117CT Hfirrs 3) semi-perminantly coupled 4-wheeled CARGOWAGGON vans with shared running numbers built by Duewag. Having been unloaded at a distribution warehouse at Daventry International Rail Freight Terminal (DIRFT) the wagons are being returned to France via the Channel Tunnel and Calais Frethun to collect more bottled mineral water (eau minerale) including Evian imported from the French Alps, Volvic from the Massif Central (both owned by the Danone Group food producer) and Perrier which is loaded into the vans near Nimes in the Languedoc-Roussillon region of southern France (the source of Perrier being at Vergeze about 15 km southwest of Nimes). 67019 was built by Alstom at Meinfesa in Valencia, Spain in 2000.

A similar set of cargowaggon vans was photographed by Nicolas Villenave on 9 May 2014 returning empty passing through Écaillon (department Nord) on their way from Calais Frethun to Culoz railway junction in the Ain department in the Rhône-Alpes region of France, by Mattias Catry at Boisleux-au-Mont on 9 September 2012 and by Laurent Knop at Béthisy-St.-Pierre, Picardie in the Oise department on 12 March 2014. 66136 (works number 968702-136) was built by General Motors Electro-Motive Division, London, Ontario, Canada in 1998 and unloaded from the Heavy Lift Ship MV "Gajah Borneo" at Newport Docks on 17 July 1999.
