UK diesel locomotive, EWS Freight liveried Class 66145, photographed passing slowly through Banbury rail station, Oxfordshire, England, in a late August afternoon of 2012, heading north hauling a train of Ford Transit vans.

Class 66145 arrived new in the UK at Newport docks aboard the MV Gajah Borneo on the 18th August 1999.

 

Along with its normal railway network duties, this EWS liveried loco has featured in two railtours:  'The Valley Voyager' on the 16th March 2002 where it 'top-and-tailed' with 37038 & 37197 hauling a 13-coach train from Cwmgwrach to Neath & Brecon Junction, and from Onllwyn to Burrows Sidings.

 

On the 26th April 2003, Class 66145 provided power for 'The North Eastern Express' railtour hauling a 13-coach train from Hooton to Newcastle and back. 

 

The locomotive is currently operated by DB Cargo UK.
