90 050 Loaned To Crewe Heritage Centre

The Crewe built electric locomotive 90 050 joins the Heritage Centre lineup on long-term loan from Freightliner.

Thanks to an agreement between the Crewe Heritage Trust and Freightliner we are delighted to announce the arrival of British Rail Class 90 (90 050), pictured below on Monday evening shortly after arriving at the Heritage Centre.

We would like to extend thanks to our friends at Freightliner for their kind support with this project, the locomotive will be on display at the Heritage Centre from this weekend.

A total of 50 Class 90 locomotives were constructed by British Rail Engineering Limited (BREL) here in Crewe between 1987 and 1990 with this particular example being the last in the class to be constructed.
