Eurotunnel Class 0001
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Eurotunnel Class 0 Bo-Bo diesel locomotives were built by Maschinenbau Kiel (MaK, now Vossloh's Motive Power Dept.) between 1992 and 1993. They are very similar to the NS 6400 Class.
Five locomotives were built, numbered 0001-0005. They carry a yellow and grey livery and are used for rescuing Eurotunnel Shuttle services during a power failure or in emergencies.
Their similarity to NS 6400 Class diesel locomotives have lead to the rather odd choice to have their large maintenance done by NedTrain in Tilburg, The Netherlands. They are transported there in freight trains as the locomotives are not permitted on other railway networks.
