In colourful EWS Freight livery, four UK Class 66 diesel locomotives stand on Didcot sidings on a sunny day in 2004.

The front locomotive is Class 66153 and behind is Class 66016.  The third '66' number is unreadable.

Above the locos a thunderstorm threatens to engulf Didcot station.  In fact a short while after taking this picture the heavens did open.  The after effects of which can be seen on the platform as First liveried Class 166205 3-car dmu pulls into the station elsewhere on the blog.

As the sun shines on the Warwickshire town of Rugby, UK Freightliner Heavy Haul diesel locomotive Class 66551 stands in a bay platform of Rugby station.

 

Unfortunately the identity of the other Freightliner locomotive is unknown.

A photograph such as this would be virtually impossible these days owing to the profusion of safety barriers that now exist at Rugby station.

This image was taken shortly before the station was modernised between 2006 and 2008.

Freightliner Class 66551 locomotive was built by General Motors Electo-Motive Division (EMD) in December 2001.
