The Class 66 locomotive (EMD classification JT42CWR) is a redesigned version of the Class 59 locomotive (EMD classification JT26CWSS). These Class 59 loco´s were already running in the U.K. since 1986.
The succes of the Class 66 also reached countries outside the UK. German operator HGK (Hafen und Güterverkehr Köln) ordered 2 loco´s which were delivered in 1999. Also in Scandinavia are already Class 66´s running for TGOJ Trafik (Sweden) and CargoNet (Norway).
Porterbrook Leasing started to lease a total of 20 loco´s to European operators like HGK, ShortLines, Rail4Chem, DLC Railway and ERS Railways. This was soon followed by orders from several other operators and leasing companies, which resulted in more than 60 loco´s in Europe nowadays. Also Poland got their first 66s in 2007.
