DB Cargo lists further Class 60, 67 and 90 locomotive­s for sale

-

FOLLOWING recent tender lists for Classes 60 and 90, DB Cargo has put out a new sales tender as it continues to remove redundant assets from its books, writes Ashley Butlin.

The latest list includes the 12 Class 90 locomotive­s that were removed from traffic at the beginning of 2023, Nos. 9001921/24/26/28/29/34-37/39.

All are currently located at Crewe Electric depot and were fully serviceabl­e when they were withdrawn from traffic. The second group of 10 Class 67s Nos. 67001/03/04 /09/11/18/19/26/28/30 are located at Crewe and Toton depots – except for No. 67028, which is currently in traffic. Of these, No. 67019 has been out of traffic since March 2015, with Nos. 67009/11/26 from the following year.

DBC states that: “These locomotive­s will be sold as seen and where lying without any warranty, condition or undertakin­g, including (without limitation) as to quality, position in any programme or cycle of maintenanc­e, or fitness for a particular purpose. Nothing in the foregoing limits or excludes any liability which would be unlawful for DB Cargo to limit or exclude (including having title to dispose of the locomotive­s).

“The successful bidder(s) will be required to remove the locomotive­s from site at their own expense and at times to be agreed by DB Cargo.

“In addition, DB Cargo has a significan­t number of spares available which would be offered on the same basis but under a separate agreement.

“DB Cargo would also be willing to discuss any requiremen­t for ongoing maintenanc­e or reinstatem­ent services as part of a separate discussion and agreement.”

A reserve price has been set against each locomotive offered for sale, and all tenderers will be given the opportunit­y to undertake inspection of these locomotive­s by prior arrangemen­t only.

Interested parties should register an interest by e-mailing DBUKLocoSa­les@ deutscheba­hn.com by noon on January 19, 2024.
