DB Cargo and GBRf Class 92 Electric Locomotive Compilation
The Class 92 is a dual-voltage electric locomotive which can run on either AC from the 25 kV overhead wires or on DC 750 V from the third rail. It was designed specifically to operate services through the Channel Tunnel between Britain and France.
The class 92 was intended as a mixed-traffic locomotive for hauling both international freight trains and the intended Nightstar passenger sleeper trains though the Channel Tunnel which in the event were never introduced.
The fleet of 46 locomotives was built by a consortium of Brush Traction and ABB Traction. Parts construction was sub-contracted, with final construction and commissioning being undertaken at Brush's erecting shops at Loughborough between 1993 and 1996. The class shares the same bodyshells as the Class 60 diesel locomotives but with a modified front end.
In 2009 a project was undertaken to modify six members of the class numbers 92009, 92015, 92016, 92031 and 92042 with TVM signalling so that they can operate freight trains on the High Speed One line between the Channel Tunnel and east London.
Since introduction the fleet was exclusively allocated to freight, however, in March 2015 six locomotives owned by GB Railfreight have begun passenger operations hauling the Caledonian Sleeper on behalf of Serco between London and Scotland, marking the very first use of the class in commercial passenger service.
