23-072 DB Cargo Class 66/0 No. 66-179 stabled at Didcot Parkway Station

            Taken 04/03/22;  skipping on over 30 years from the diesels on display at the Didcot Railway Centre, a Class 66 stabled at the the main line railway stabled that adjoins the centre.

According to Wikipedia the Class 66 is "... a type of six-axle
diesel electric freight locomotive developed in part from the Class 59, for use on the railways of the UK. Since its introduction the class has been successful and has been sold to British and other European railway companies. In Continental Europe it is marketed as the EMD Class 66 (JT42CWR)."  

Again from Wikipedia "... DB Cargo UK, formerly DB Schenker Rail UK and English, Welsh & Scottish Railway (EWS), is a British rail freight company headquartered in Doncaster, England. 
The company was founded in 1995 as North & South Railways, acquiring five of the six freight companies sold during the privatisation of British Rail, becoming the UK market leader in rail freight transportation. In November 2007, EWS was sold to Deutsche Bahn, and in January 2009 rebranded as DB Schenker. In March 2016 it was rebranded as DB Cargo UK."
