CJM Class 26
CJM Class 26's - 26032 in Red Stripe Railfreight with heavy faded weathering
Originally built by Birmingham R.C.W between 1958-9 and initially introduced in the London area operating out of Kings Cross. The follow on "production" batch were allocated to Scotland. By the early 60's all the Eastern Region examples had migrated across the border into Scotland. The fleet continued in service into the 90's.
Initially all examples carried BR Green livery and then BR Rail Blue, subsequently they carried Red Stripe Railfreight, Coal Sector and CE Dutch. 26001 was named Eastfield whilst in CE Dutch livery and retained this when repainted into BR Green along with 26007.
