The CD66 is a diesel locomotive leased by CargoNet from HSBC Rail to haul heavy freight trains. The six engines are EMD Series 66 locomotives built by Electro-Motive Diesel. The CD66 tag was the first diesel engine to break with the Di-series, the CD66 would have been the Di 9. The 6 engines are numbered 401 to 406.
As also discovered by other operators of the Series 66, CargoNet drivers have complained of excess noise in the driver's cabin, and in October 2004 an agreement between the drivers' union and CargoNet was signed giving the drivers 25% more pay for time spent in a CD66.[1]
