    (DC)the arts (Beethoven, Luciano Pavarotti etc).
    (KIM)Visually very like Cl 60, especially from front.

    There have been some changes since.

    Class 92 was used for passenger service in GB (Caledonian Sleeper
    since 2015).

    Some Class 92 operated in Romania on
    behalf of DB Schnker but were found too heavy and were sent to Croatia
    this year. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Rail_Class_92#Operations
