Notes

An EMD class 66 of the belgian Dillon & Le Jeune Cargo, short DLC, passes through Aachen Hauptbahnhof with a container train. The unit is owned by Mitsumi Rail Capital Europe (MRCE), and is used on freight duties over the Montzen route.

You can easily see here how small the unit really is. It’s, at it’s highest, only as high as the loaded container car behind it, with lower sides. You can also see, if you look closely, that it’s several centimetres (or several less inches) less wide than the freight car as well.

This is, of course, due to it being designed for Great Britain with it’s smaller loading gauge. Don’t let the appearance fool you, though: It’s still one of the most powerful diesel locomotives in Europe.
