A black and white photo taken on the 9th July 2013 of two DB Cargo Class 90 electric locomotives seen double-heading a fast moving freight train through Wolverton station, Buckinghamshire, UK.
The leading locomotive is numbered Class 90029, while unfortunately the second loco went unidentified.
The train had recently passed through Northampton and was headed towards Bletchley.
Class 90029, bearing the Deutsche Bahn Cherry Red livery along with DB Schenker branding, was built by British Rail Engineering Ltd Crewe Works in April 1989 - one of 50 produced.
On 26/3/1998 the loco was named 'Frachtverbindungen' but later lost its name on 31/1/2003.
On the 8/4/2003 it was named once again, this time as 'The Institution of Civil Engineers'.
According to details listed in the 2014 Platform 5 Locomotives Pocket Book, Class 90029 had by this date lost its latest name.
