Shell of Eurotunnel Shuttle locomotive undergoing stress testing in a special rig at British rail's research facility in Derby.
The Eurotunnel shuttle locomotives are amongst the largest and most powerful in the world. A complete train (750m long) has a locomotive at each end, sharing the workload. A single locomotive, in an emergency, has sufficient power to pull a complete train on its own and two working locomotives, together with their complete train, can push another failed shuttle train to safety.
