Freightconnection
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Freightconnection was an event organised by the Railfreight Distribution sector of British Rail in 1992. Its purpose was to increase the amount of freight traffic between France, Belgium, Germany and the United Kingdom via the Channel Tunnel, which was due to open two years later, in 1994.
The event saw the naming of four Class 90 locomotives, three of which were painted in the corporate liveries of European railway companies.
