Class 70s

Class 70s

In the late 2000s, Freightliner was looking to expand its locomotive fleet towards more powerful and fuel-efficient locomotives. The new Class 70 was a 3,690bhp locomotive built by General Electric and designed solely for freight use, with a focus on reliability and efficiency.

This book presents a collection of more than 190 images showing every Class 70 locomotive, except the ill-fated 70012, over the last decade in service. It shows a variety of locations, mostly in the south of England, where these impressive locomotives can be seen at work.
