Information

The nineteenth Class 60 completed was made available for collection on 19th October 1990 (along with sister locomotive 60018). However, 60019 was only the third loco allocated to general traffic, as numbers 60001 - 60016 were used for testing, commissioning, and training.
Carrying Construction sector decals and the name 'Wild Boar Fell', the locomotive moved south to work from Hither Green Depot in southeast London.

In 1995, it came under the control of Mainline Freight and had its Construction sector markings replaced with the 'wheels' logo of Mainline, though it retained the triple-grey colours of BR Railfreight. When all the Class 60s passed to the new EW&S Railway company, the livery was still undecided. This is why 60022 was outshopped in undercoat. 60019 followed shortly afterwards, by which time the now-familiar maroon and gold house colours had been chosen, albeit not fully refined.

As the first Class 60 to carry EW&S livery, it displayed some unique features compared with later repaints - such as gold-coloured cab vents, a split-height cantrail, and a lower reflective strip that wrapped around the ends-making it an interesting subject for modellers.

In 2003, it was renamed 'Pathfinder Tours' to commemorate the railtour operator#s 30th anniversary. Still in full EW&S livery, albeit increasingly workworn, it remained in service until 2011 when 60019 was selected for the DB Schenker 'Super 60' programme. Emerging on 20th July 2012 in Traffic Red DB Schenker livery, it later gained its third name, 'Port of Grimsby and Immingham'

During 2017, following the transition from DB Schenker to DB Cargo, the 'Schenker' part of the logo was removed from the bodyside. The locomotive continued to work almost until the end of DB's Class 60 operations but was stored at Toton in 2023, where it remains today.
