GB Railfreight and Electro-Motive Diesel Celebrate

2014年12月8日 - GB Railfreight和电动动机柴油（EMD）今天庆祝了他们项目开展的重要工作，以通过命名机车号66753来构建货运术车队的21个新的66班。

In proceedings at Electro-Motive Diesel Ltd.’s Doncaster Roberts Road depot, which opened one year ago, John Smith, Managing Director of GB Railfreight, and Brian Edwards, Vice President of Sales, Locomotive Service Operations & Customer Performance at Progress Rail Services Corporation & EMD, spoke about the importance of the project for what was GB Railfreight’s largest ever investment in new locomotives.

The locomotive was named “EMD Roberts Road,” in recognition of the significant investment made by EMDL in the Roberts Road depot that primarily serves GB Railfreight’s daily freight operations. The name was also meant to honour the EMDL employees at Roberts Road who play such a pivotal role keeping GB Railfreight’s fleet operating at the top of all industry measures.

The naming ceremony came on the day that the third batch of Class 66s start unloading, having arrived from the US into the Port of Newport on Saturday, December 6. The first batch arrived from the US into the Port of Newport in July 2014.

Railfreight和Engineering员工通过EMDL员工，唐卡斯特大都市自治市议员，奥德卡斯特市长，市长ROS JONES市长和铁路媒体的各种成员，举例说明了项目的重要性当地社区，以及更广泛的铁路货运。

GB Railfreight的董事总经理John Smith表示，“这是令人难以置信的拟合，在我们的第三批机车开始在英国土地上的旅程中，我们庆祝该项目的66753机车的命名。这是对GB铁路运输的增长的重要意义 - 我们公司历史上最大的机车投资 - 我要感谢EMD的所有人，以使项目取得如此成功。“

Scott Garman, EMDL Sales Director, added, “I am delighted to be a part of this event, celebrating the strong relationship between GBRf and EMD. It is also gratifying to know that the UK freight operating companies put their faith in the Class 66, which continues to be the most productive, economical and reliable diesel locomotive in the UK.”
