Freightliner would not be interested in class 60's for several reasons:-
1 - they would have to buy them off DBSchenker-which would cost money.
2 - If they purchased them they then would have to pay to either give them "F" exams (A vertual rebuild) at £500,000 + per loco or re-engine them which would cost more,its cheaper to lease class 70's !
3 - They are a loco with a maximum operating speed of 60 mph(100kph) which is no good for freightliner trains which run at 75mph(120kph).
