On 22nd March 1991, another pair of Class 60s was made ready for collection, including 60051, which carried Petroleum sector decals. The locomotive was named after the Scottish scientist “Mary Somerville.” Initially based at Cardiff Canton Depot in South Wales, 60051 was unusual in that it kept its Petroleum sector markings right through the shadow franchise period. It was later painted directly into the second variation of EWS livery in 1997. An early casualty, 60051 was stored at Toton in April 2010, where it remains to this day.
