Description

66728 GBCM MOUNTFLD 894E19CJ11 6 * DONCDNDCY N

GB Railfreight's class 66/7 (JT42CWR) number 66728 named "Institute of Railway Operators" by Iain Coucher, Network Rail chief executive at First GBRf’s maintenance depot in March, Cambridgeshire, in recognition of the training and support provided to the railway industry. Here it is photographed hauling empty gypsum containers mounted on flat wagons from Mountfield Sidings (GBRf) East Sussex to Doncaster Down Decoy (4E19) on 11 December 2014. 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). The waste product (gypsum) is then delivered to British Gypsum's Robertsbridge Works by train where it is used to manufacture plaster and plasterboard. 66728 (works number 20068902-001) was built by General Motors Electro-Motive Division, London, Ontario, Canada and unloaded from a heavy lift ship at Newport Docks on 9 April 2008.

Wagons being hauled included 682, 644, 688 and 642.
