Description

DB Schenker Rail (UK) Ltd's class 92 number 92015 (previously named "D H Lawrence") painted in Deutsche Bahn cherry red with DB Schenker branding and a three 'O' shaped channel tunnel roundel logo works 6B20 from Dollands Moor to Wembley European Freight Operations Centre on 14 January 2015 hauling 27 Tonne (tare du wagon) G.E. Rail Services owned IZA (GE117CT Hfirrs 3) semi-perminantly coupled 4-wheeled CARGOWAGGON vans with shared running numbers built by Duewag. Having started out in France and passed through the channel tunnel each pair of vans is used to transport approximately 59,000 litters (59 Tonnes) of Danone bottled mineral water (<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/99279135@N05/14519696692">eau minerale</a>) in crates of PET (polyethylene terephthalate) bottles such as Evian imported from Évian-les-Bains in the French Alps and <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/99279135@N05/15096320948/">Volvic</a> from the Massif Central. Evian bottled at the SAEME plant Post is transported by train (for a map of the route <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/99279135@N05/15383012296/">click here</a>) from Évian-les-Bains to the UK via Publier, (Bellegarde Longeray or Annemasse?), Culoz, Ambérieu-en-Bugey, Bourg-en-Bresse, Louhans, Gevrey-Chambertin, Dijon-Perrigny, Chalons-en-Champagne, Reims, Longueau and Calais-Frethun. For Volvic the <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/99279135@N05/15383012296/">route</a> is thought to be from the SEV bottling plant in Riom to the UK via Gannat, Saincaize, Vierzon, Valenton (Paris), Longueau and Calais Frethun. From Wembley this train continues on route to Crick under headcode 6B41 and is ultimately unloaded at a distribution warehouse at Daventry International Rail Freight Terminal (DIRFT).

A similar set of cargowaggon vans was photographed by Nicolas Villenave on 9 May 2014 returning empty passing through Écaillon (department Nord) on their way from <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/119085393@N02/14147711054/">Calais Frethun to Culoz railway junction</a> in the Ain department in the Rhône-Alpes region of France, by Mattias Catry at <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/50604235@N05/7969763184/">Boisleux-au-Mont</a> on 9 September 2012 and by Laurent Knop at <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/x4644/13156920803/">Béthisy-St.-Pierre, Picardie</a> in the Oise department on 12 March 2014.

92015 (works number BT1077) was assembled by the BRUSH Traction Company at Loughborough in 1994 from sub-contracted components (e.g. Procor UK bodyshell, Asea Brown Boveri (ABB Rail) traction converters and GTO (Gate Turn-Off thyristor) controlled via the MICAS-S2 electronics system, retractable third rail collector shoes made by Brecknell Willis and the engraved aluminium BRUSH traction works plates made by J M Ranger Limited of Leicester). For track to train communications class 92s were fitted with the Siemens International Train Radio (ITR) "chameleon" system which could automatically change over to match local ground systems e.g. at international boarders and allowed the driver to select from a range of language settings. All non-metallic components of the class 92 were either certified for Eurotunnels fire regulations by the manufacturers or where suppliers could not provide this information products such as the divers seat (made by Chapman Seating Limited) and plastic push buttons were fire tested by Brush.
