Description

GB Railfreight's class 66/7 (JT42CWR) number 66705 in First GBRf blue and mustard yellow livery with orange cantrail and solebar stripes. Here it is photographed hauling empty gypsum containers mounted on flat wagons from Mountfield Sidings (GBRf) East Sussex to Doncaster Down Decoy (4E19) on 15 September 2014. To comply with gas emission regulations limestone (CaCO3) delivered to the power station (by other trains) is used to remove sulfur dioxide (SO2) from the flue gasses, by converting it into gypsum (CaSO4·2H2O). The waste product (gypsum) is then delivered to British Gypsum's Robertsbridge Works by train where it is used to manufacture plaster and plasterboard. 66705 (works number 20008201-5) was built by General Motors Electro-Motive Division, London, Ontario, Canada in 2001 and unloaded from the Heavy Lift Ship MV "Jumbo Challenger" at Newport Docks in March 2001.
