Class 60s

Class 60s

The Class 60 was the last British-built diesel locomotive design and 100, in total, went to Railfreight. Privatisation saw the class being sold on to English, Welsh & Scottish Railways, and towards the end of the 2000s almost all of the locomotives were put into store. However, in the early 2010s, a small fleet of Class 60s were rebuilt so they could haul DB Schenker’s heaviest trains, and eventually 35 were refurbished for various operators. Illustrated with more than 190 photographs, this volume looks at the Class 60s from their early days in the 1990s through to the end of the 2010s.
