Description

The Class 66: A Reliant Workhorse of British Railways In the late 1990s and early 2000s, the UK's national network was facing a locomotive crisis. With many existing engines becoming increasingly unreliable, EWS took over freight operations in 1996 and ordered a new fleet of 250 Class 66 locos. Designed to be versatile, these trains have since proven themselves to be reliable and capable. Over the past two decades, the Class 66/0s have been in service at various locations across the UK. This book tells their story, from their early days to the present day, offering a detailed look at this iconic class of locomotive.
