66077 WBAT DONCBELMD 226O07CZ21 4 * DOLLANDSM N 4E26 4D A

DB Schenker Rail (UK) Ltd's class 66 (JT42CWR) number 66077 in English, Welsh and Scottish Railway maroon with zigzag gold band, large number and EWS logo, is photographed working 4E26 from Dollands Moor sidings to Scunthorpe Redbourne sidings on 22 September 2014. 66077 is named "Benjamin Gimbert GC" the GC standing for George Cross awarded to the LNER engine driver who was very severely injured on 2 June 1944 after separating a burning ammunition wagon from an ammunition train of 51 wagons and moving it away from people and property before it exploded killing James Nightall the fireman. Joyce Dedman (his daughter) and Jenny Amps (his grandaughter) were at the naming ceremony on 2 June 2004 at Network Rail's maintenance depot (formerly Whitemoor Marshalling Yard). It was also photographed later on route by papercliponawire <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/papercliponawire/15133644967/">from the Urbannest building</a> and by *ECMLexpress* at <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/97337245@N08/15135770429/">Retford</a>. This service returns empty FIA 'Multifret' twin intermodal flat wagons used to transport steel for export in billet form from Tata Steels Scunthorpe complex on South Humberside in Lincolnshire (<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/98929239@N03/14032630236/in/photostream/">see Andy Pictons photo</a>) to a freight yard at Ebange in Eastern France via Dollands Moor and Calais Fréthun through the Channel Tunnel (<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/99279135@N05/14036377443/">click here for the route </a>). Laurent Knop photographed Euro Cargo Rail's loco number E 186-317 at Valenciennes (Nord - department 59) hauling loaded wagons working from <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/x4644/13687214105/">Calais Fréthun to Ebange</a> on 2 April 2014. Nicolas Tomaszewski also videoed a loaded train passing Beuvrages hauled by <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/france-ferroviaire/14112205833/">Euro Cargo Rail's E186 162-4</a>. Once in Ebange the steel is used at Tata's Hayange rail mill to produce rail for SNCF's LGV Est européenne construction programme to extend the French high-speed rail network. 66077 (works number 968702-077) was built by General Motors Electro-Motive Division, London, Ontario, Canada in 1998 and unloaded from the Heavy Lift Ship MV "Stellamare" at Newport Docks on 28 February 1999.
