Description

66708 GBCM MOUNTFLD 894E19CJ26 6 * HEXTHRPGB N 23D A

While the GBRf Staff Charter and one way Enthusiast Tour lead by class 66 number 743 heads from Ipswich to Bournemouth on 26 July 2104 at least one other GBRf driver has to work on 4E19 taking GB Railfreight class 66/7 (JT42CWR) number 66708 named "Jayne" after GB Railfreight employee roster manager Jayne Taylor from Mountfield Sidings (Gbrf) East Sussex (British Gypsum's Robertsbridge Works) to Peterborough Virtual. Although shown as going to Doncaster Hexthorpe the last part to Hexthorpe was cancelled. Here 66708 is photographed hauling flat wagons each with 3 empty gypsum containers mounted on each one. To comply with gas emission regulations limestone (CaCO3) delivered to West Burton power station (by other trains) is used to remove sulfur dioxide (SO2) from the flue gasses (desulfurisation), by converting it into gypsum (CaSO4·2H2O). The waste product (gypsum) is then delivered by train to British Gypsum's Robertsbridge Works where it is used to manufacture plaster and plasterboard for Greater London and the South East of England. 66708 was built by General Motors Electro-Motive Division, London, Ontario, Canada in 2002 and unloaded from the a Heavy Lift Ship at Newport Docks.

Wagons being hauled by 66708 were 640659, 640667, 640675, 640631, 640654, 640691, 640639, 640648, 640662, 640914, 640689, 640678, 640658, 640679, 640643, 640649, 640680 and 640676.
