British Class-66's Easter-European. One.

Hungary and Poland.

Many of the privatised rail freight companies operating in the U.K., also now have similar operations in Poland and Hungary and the older Class-66 locomotives have been sold on to do the same work as in the U.K.

This is the beginning of using the Channel tunnel pay for itself in the movement of minerals and cheap goods for the supermarket chains! Shenker is one of the biggest operators now taking over operations in Eastern-Europe.

Some of the Class-66's have been sold on to replace the aging former Soviet or East-German fleets locomotives, which are way behind these Canadian built engines and are more reliable.
