66951, 13.06 Ditton-Felixstowe North (4L92, 2L), Hyde Road bridge
It's teatime and the last day of April so the
sun is just able to still reach the depths of Roade cutting. It just manages to illuminate the flank of the 4L92 13.06 Ditton to Felixstowe Freightliner led by 66951. This particular 66 was the first of five that arrived in the UK in 2004 that were being evaluated as low-emission versions of the class. With ever more stringent emission regulations as further members of the class were ordered the lessons learnt from these early five examples were used to make the later locomotives compliant.
