Built in Germany in 2003 by General Motors' Electro-Motive Division under the works number 20038513-3, the loco entered service in December of that year. It was numbered to (somewhat appropriately) 6608 and pressed into use with the Dutch operator ERS Railways. This lasted until December 2008 before the loco was sold to Beacon Rail in March 2009.
It was then hired to Heavy Haul Power International in November 2009 and renumbered to 29004, for use back in its country of birth. Finally in Autumn 2020 the loco, along with four other examples procured by GB Railfreight through their successful partnership with Beacon Rail, was moved to the United Kingdom. It was delivered to Electro Motive Division's Doncaster workshop in October that year, for modifications in order to meet current UK railway specifications. After moving to the Arlington Fleet Services facility at Eastleigh for a repaint into Trainload Construction livery, it finally entered traffic in the United Kingdom as 66793 in March 2021.
