    Comparison of Class 68 noise levels with other locomotives

    Freightliner Class 70 Storage

    Not sure about the Freightliner 70s but the Colas 70s suffer from this issue awaiting spares from GE. 70801 and 70803 were out of traffic for about a year each. 70808 is currently out of traffic with a status M awaiting materials, this one has been out of service for well over a year now.

    Freightliner Class 70 Storage

    When I passed on 22 July there were 10 stored 70s, in order from the Woodlesford end- 70004 70001 70014 70011 70019 70009 70017 70018 70016 70013 I videoed this on my phone and in freeze frame each number is legible but sometimes a little difficult to make out because of the palisade fence in front!
