Originally E3170 it was built by English Electric at there Vulcan Foundry works and entered traffic in June 1965. E3170 became 86002 in the 1973 TOPS renumbering scheme,  86402 when fitted with improved suspension in the late 1980’s and finally 86602 when dedicated to freight traffic and had its electric train heating isolated, and maximum speed reduced to 75mph in the early 1990’s. 86602 was stored in March 2005 and during early July 2009 had its wheelsets removed and the locomotive body dumped on the ground at Crewe LNWR. The remains of 86602 were broken up on site at Crewe LNWR during the first week of January 2010.
