Description

The Class 66 locomotive first appeared on the British freight scene in 1998, marking the beginning of a significant era in rail transport. Over the past 25 years, these engines have played a vital role in the country's rail network, with over 400 machines serving various major rail-freight operators. From the china-clay traffic in the South West of England to services to Fort William and Inverness in the Scottish Highlands, the Class 66 has been a ubiquitous presence on Britain's railways. This book celebrates the rapid deployment of these locomotives across the country and the diverse range of traffic they have carried. A testament to the enduring importance of the Class 66, this book offers a unique insight into the history of these engines and their role in shaping the modern rail network.
