The first of our regeared Class 66 locos entered active service this week at Peak Forest in Derbyshire. 66651 (previously 66221) hauled a cargo of premium grade limestone from Tarmac’s Tunstead Quarry to Tata Chemicals Europe’s Lostock works in Northwich. #TeamRed #railfreight

Our colleagues at Toton have started regearing ten Class 66 locomotives to give them a higher tractive effort. This will ensure they can pull some of our heavier traffic and enable us to phase out our ageing and less reliable Class 60s.

#HS2's new facility in Quainton is expected to handle 3Mt of aggregates and take the equivalent of 300K lorry movements off roads. The railhead will be operated by @Fishbone_UK on behalf of EKFB and trains operated by DB Cargo UK on behalf of @Hanson_UK. #railfreight #carbon

Many of our DB Cargo UK colleagues are ex-service personnel and we are extremely proud of their service to our country. Today, we reverently remember the sacrifice of those who have died in that service. At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them.

Did you know that leaf-busting locos spray the top of the rail with a high-pressure water jet? They also apply a get containing a mix of sand and steel grains, so that trains can run safely and reliably on the tracks. #AutumnSeason #RailSafety

Unsafe tracks pose one of the biggest threats to railway safety; one of our roles during Autumn season is to apply high-pressure water jetting to the railhead, to keep it clean and free of leaf debris. #railsafety #railfreight #autumnseason
