Following 66001

[Western Sunset]

66001 is 25 this month - delivered on 18th April 1998. Is it possible to track the moves of one loco in a month?

Here it is in Westbury Down yard on 23rd April. Then it attached itself to the rear of 66120+66041 working 0V14 2004 Eastleigh - Margam.

Does anyone know its moves from 18th and subsequently?

You can do exactly that on Railcam

It’s still in Margam Yard at the moment.

Thanks Mark. Never knew about that resource; wondered what folks meant by "Railcam".

It worked 6V19 Acton Yard to Westbury Down Yard on 19th, stayed in Westbury area till 23rd then went to Margam, as you say attached to 0V14 Eastleigh to Margam from Westbury.

Thanks. Hearing it was 25 years ago, and seeing it at Westbury last Sunday night, I just wondred what it was up to...

Cheers, thanks. I'm keeping a little note of all these for my own amusement....

Wonder where it'll go next...

I suspect it will currently be in Tees NY and possibly will be attached to 6D11 later to Scunthorpe...it is currently T status (on transfer) and its ultimate destination is Toton TMD for a bit of TLC...

66001 is the only modern locomotive that I've been in. It was at the Old Oak Common open day (1999?) and a driver was available in the cab to answer questions. While I was aboard he got a youngster to start the loco up, it was an interesting experience. I wonder how many miles/hours have been racked up by now.

Moved down to Scunthorpe now from Tees Yard

old oak common was 2000 I remember being in the cab of 66001 and the driver was answering questions, everyone was asking why 66002 hadn't been sent over.
