Due to suffering a case of square wheels, 58044 in ETF livery on it's way to Alizay with the other 58's was left in Woippy Yard in the north east of France, and is still there awaiting collection. Either a very long trip on a wheel-skate on several overnights or on the back of a lorry, or indeed some spare wheelsets from Alizay. For now, unknown.

In rather a large expanse of a yard, which is infact three large yards linked together, and also complete with a stabling point. French locomotives of types 460, 464 and 427 were in abundence, the Germans were around in the form of a DBSchenker 185 and the Belgians in the form of two class 13's, this shows how close to the boarder this yard is, and just how far away the 58's last worksite was, as 58044 didn't make it that far at all.
