GB Railfreight's class 66/7 (JT42CWR) number 66703 named "Doncaster PSB 1981-2002" in First GBRf blue and mustard yellow livery with orange cantrail and solebar stripes.. Here it is photographed hauling empty gypsum containers mounted on flat wagons from Mountfield Sidings (GBRf) East Sussex to Doncaster Down Decoy (4E19) on 20 January 2015. To comply with gas emission regulations limestone (CaCO3) delivered to the power station (by other trains) is used to remove sulfur dioxide (SO2) from the flue gasses, by converting it into gypsum (CaSO4·2H2O).
