Please note that the clips from this video have been captured from 3 different cameras so the quality is going to vary from clip to clip.
As the Class 60 is rapidly being withdrawn from service with DB Schenker, I thought I would put together a video with clips ranging from late 2008 to present day, celebrating the work that this powerful loco has achieved.
There is one working featured a lot in this video, all southerners will know it as 6M34 which has given us many 60'sover the years. A recent 60 on this working that stands out to many is 60074 'Teenage Spirit', the first time this loco had done the working in DB light blue livery.
The older clips featured in this video are from two locations, Carlisle and Willesden Junction with workings that are now pulled by 59's and/or 66's.
The tugs that appear in this video are:
60009

Please comment and leave your thoughts, good or bad, as long as it isn't so bad that the comment will have to be removed by me. I also would like to hear any news or rumours about any of the 60s.
Enjoy!!
