Description

Class 66: A Study of the Class 66 Locomotives in British Freight Operations. In August 1994, British Railways was privatized, leading to changes in the freight market. To meet the growing demand for reliable locomotives, General Motors' earlier Class 59 design was adapted and purchased by English Welsh Scottish Railways (EWSR). The resulting Class 66 locomotives were delivered to Newport Docks, where they quickly entered service. The Class 66 design has since become a staple of British freight operations. With the expansion of global trade, the need for efficient and reliable locomotives has increased. This book provides an in-depth analysis of the Class 66 fleet, including regional services operated by various companies. The author also notes changes in operators and haulers over time. Fred Kerr's study offers a detailed look at the Class 66 locomotives and their role in British freight operations.
