Locomotive History
08907 was built at Horwich Works as D4137 and entered traffic in June 1962 allocated to Burton MPD. In December 1965 it transferred to Leicester and in September 1969 to Holyhead where it remained until February 1983 when it transferred to Crewe. It spent its later years allocated to Old Oak Common, Bescot, Crewe and Toton although these allocations in the latter years became rather meaningless with respect to the locomotives actual location. It received an E exam in March 2003 at Ferrybridge, a repaint into DB livery at Bescot in October 2013 and sold to a private owner by DB Cargo in November 2016.
