DB Schenker liveried Class 60017 diesel-electric locomotive is seen here entering Wellingborough station from Bedford, hauling a freight train of petroleum tankers on the 27th June 2014.

************************************************

Nicknamed 'Tugs' by railway enthusiasts, Class 60017 was built at Brush Traction, Loughborough in October 1990.

When built, 60017 carried the name, 'Arenig Fawr', after the mountain in Snowdonia, North Wales, which is situated close to the Llyn Celyn reservoir.

In October 1996 the named was removed, and a month later 60017 was renamed 'Shotton Works Centenary Year 1996'.  At time of writing (Feb 2018) 60017 carries no name.

At present (2018) 18 DB Schenker Class 60's are available for operation while the remaining 73 are in storage.

In addition to being used in the transportation of petroleum, the Class 60's are used in the movement of stone, ballast, aggregate and steel.

As well as DB Schenker (DB Cargo UK), the 100-strong class of Class 60 locomotives have been operated by British Rail, English Welsh & Scottish Railway, and Colas Rail.
