DC Railfreight 60029 'Ben Nevis' (04.02.2026)

With word having it that GBRF are retiring their class 60 fleet, it seems as if DC Railfreight are going to be left as the sole operators of the class and I was lucky to catch up with one of their tugs today! 60029 heads through Sonning Cutting with the Quainton Railhead-Tytherington empty bogie boxes.
