Class 66 Diesel Locomotive
Type JT42CWR diesel electric freight locomotive, better known as Class 66. SNCF Fret Benelux diesel locomotive. The locomotive looks as it did in 2002.
Between December 2008 and April 2010, the SNCF subsidiary SNCF Fret Benelux active for a short time in international freight service initially leased three class 66 locomotives with the road numbers 6601-6603 from CBRail Leasing at that time. Road numbers 6604-6606 were occasionally added to the roster. These units were used in Belgium, the Netherlands, France, and Germany mostly pulling container, tank car, and other unit trains. All of this only lasted a short time, because the foreign business for SNCF Fret Benelux went in the spring of 2010 into the newly established CapTrain, in which several railroad companies were merged. |
