	Rail Blue - The Story
		After discussions with the board, the WR was allowed to keep the locomotives as they were, the Class 35's emblem moving to the centre of the machines and the Class 52's to the cabside opposite the numberplate.
		Some of the smaller classes of locomotives were dealt with surprisingly quickly; in the case of the Class 55 'Deltics' D9002 became the first example outshopped in blue on the 20th October 1966, and D9014 the last, only three years later in November 1969.
		Class 47 locomotive no. 47 460 appeared on the 3rd of April 1978 with an all over silver roof and red bufferbeams; and just to strike the message home a little harder, the depot applied wooden nameplates bearing the name 'Great Eastern'.

	TOPS - UK Railways - A Wikia wiki (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-11)
		In the mid to late 1960s British Railways (soon to be rebranded as British Rail) was searching around for ways to increase efficiency, and came across the TOPS system being used by the Canadian National Railways.
		No class of locomotive or multiple unit numbered over a thousand examples, so the last three digits were used for the individual number (between 001 and 999) in that class.
		Locomotives are assigned classes from 01 to 98, with diesel locomotives assigned classes 01 to 69, DC electric locomotives between 70 and 79, AC electric locomotives 80-96, departmental locos (those not in revenue-earning use) 97, and steam locomotives 98.

	Comment: Push-Pull: The Hidden Dangers (28/02/2001)
		For this service a number of coaches were modified to have a driving compartment at one end and it was from this end that the driver drove the train in one direction (usually towards Glasgow) with no-one in the cab of the locomotive at the rear.
		In addition some locomotives including class 47's had "proportionality", that is there was designed small delay in application of the locomotive brake which was introduced to allow the train brakes to be fully applied first.
		Yet again we have the class 91 locomotive at the rear when the front of the train is liberated from the track by a collision with an automobile.

		Specifically, the value of rail services is defined as the change in highway user, maintenance, and safety costs that would result if rail traffic is shifted to trucks.
		Rail movements in the I-5 corridor from Vancouver, WA to the British Columbia border include many origins and destinations, commodities, and railroads.
		An initial estimate of the average tons per truck is made by dividing the net tons in the rail car by the ratio of the cubic capacity of the rail car to the cubic capacity of the trailer.

	British Rail Class 47 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The British Rail Class 47 diesel locomotive, also known as a Brush Type Four, is a class of British locomotive.
		It was specially repainted in its original British Railway two-tone green livery, and given its original number of D1748, to commemorate the retirement of the First Great Western Class 47 fleet.
		Of the rest, 47812 and 47815 are in British Railways two-tone green; 47847 is in BR large-logo livery; and 47853 is in the experimental XP64 livery, as applied to this loco during the 1960s.

	British Rail Class 67 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The British Rail Class 67 locomotives were built from 1999-2000 by Alstom in Valencia, Spain under sub-contract from General Motors Diesel in Canada.
		EWS had acquired the parcels business Rail Express Systems in 1996, and inherited a motley collection of elderly Class 47 diesel locomotives and Class 86 electric locomotives, and newer Class 90 electric locomotives, as well as Class 325 parcels EMUs.
		EWS Class 67 locomotives are hired by First Scotrail to haul their Caledonian Sleeper services over non-electrified routes; the "Highland Sleeper" services to and from Aberdeen, Inverness and, since early 2006, Fort William.

	Ged Class
		These locomotives were not as successful as their production cousins in Class 42, and all were withdrawn by the end of the 1960s.
		The British Rail Class 43 diesel-hydraulic locomotives were built by the North British Locomotive Company from 1960-1962.
		Like most NBL designs, these locomotives were not very successful, and were withdrawn before their Class 42 sisters, themselves doomed to a short life because of the decision to standardise on diesel-electric transmission for mainline locomotives.

	Steve's Page on British Rail Diesels - The "Duff" (class 47)
		The class of locomotives that were to become known as the 47 class (or "Duff" as they have been nicknamed) are the largest class of diesel locomotives built for the British Rail fleet with 512 locomotives in all being built during the early 1960s.
		The new TOPS numbers were added quite hurriedly to the 47 class locomotives with many having the new numbers applied without undergoing a repaint at the same time.
		In April 1976 locomotive 47046 (D1628) was experimentally re-engineered to run using 56 class traction equipment and renumbered to 47601 thus forming a new 47/6 class consisting of this one locomotive.

		Aside from the class 43, this is the only diesel locomotive used to haul intercity trains.
		These engines have a maximum speed of 100 mph, and are still useful because the class 91 doesn't travel on the west coast line, although primarily for freight services, but it does get used for the occasional intercity services, although the class 87 and 90 are its main competitors.
		The class 91 looks similar to this engine, however the front is slightly more slanted, and it only slants at one end.
