The Class 66/9 subclass of the Class 66 Co-Co diesel locomotives consists of 2 locomotives, Nos. 66951 and 66952 introduced in 2004.

The 66/9 was developed by EMD to meet new EU regulations on emissions. There are a number of differences between the 66/9 and the previous standard 66/0, 66/4 66/5 66/6 66/7 subclasses. They have smaller fuel tanks, which restricts their range. There is an extra bodyside door on one side, and different grille layout. Both carry Freightliner livery and are in service with Freightliner Heavy Haul.
