EASTLEIGH, England — British container freight operator GB Railfreight has outshopped a locomotive specially painted to honor the people of Ukraine. The Class 66 locomotive, named “Glory to Ukraine,” is shown at the Arlington Fleet Services shop near Southampton in Southern England.
The dual-cab locomotive was built at EMD’s General Motors Diesel factory in London, Ontario, in 2002.
GB Railfreight said in a press release it “stands with Ukraine and this newly painted locomotive honors the people affected by the conflict as they continue to courageously defend their homeland.”

I sure wish Amtrak would do the same.
Nice! 🙂
