BLACK AS NIGHT:

Three of the five DB Cargo locos that were intended for use with the planned Grand Central service to Blackpool, which was abandoned due to Covid and its knock-on effect on rail travel, are pictured at Mossend Down Yard on April 2. Nearest the camera is No. 90039 sporting ‘I am the backbone of the economy’ vinyls over its black paint, with Nos. 90029 and 90026 behind.
