Summary

Description
English: Work on the railway line. The line between Reedham and Cantley is closed over the weekend whilst a new track is being laid. The old rails and sleepers have already been removed > 1751738 and low emission Class 66725 'Sunderland' diesel locomotive has hauled a long train carrying the required materials such as rails, sleepers and sand and crushed stone ballast to the section being presently worked on. The train has also brought a crane, a digger that can move on rails > 1754244 and a JCB. The men will be working day and night so as not to disrupt rail traffic for any longer than necessary and the portable lights positioned along the lineside will illuminate the track at night.


'Sunderland' 66725 is of low emission design and one of 12 66s presently owned by GBRf.

The Class 66 is a six axle diesel electric freight locomotive developed for use on the railways of the UK. Since its introduction the class has been very successful and has been sold to British and other European railway companies. GB Railfreight - owned by First Group (First Great Western) - entered the freight haulage business in mid 2001, and is one of three British operators using Class 66 locos, 12 of which are in GBRf service at present. These locos are the same as the EWS 66/0s > https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1604035 and Freightliner 66/5s but have their own classification due to a different owner.
