Description

The Class 59s: A Legacy of Performance In the mid-1980s, British Rail's customer, Foster Yeoman, sought alternative locomotives to address dissatisfaction with the Class 56s. A deal was struck with General Motors to supply the Class 59s, which exceeded expectations and led to other customers purchasing these locos as well. Today, over 30 years on, the Class 59s continue to perform their intended function. This book showcases the Class 59s across the United Kingdom, with over 230 images capturing their history and operation. A testament to their enduring performance, the Class 59s remain a notable part of British Rail's heritage. With a wealth of visual information, this book provides a unique insight into the Class 59s and their significance in the world of rail transport.
