	Encyclopedia: British Rail Class 15 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		British Rail Class 11 was applied to a batch of locomotives built from April 1945 to December 1952, based on a similar earlier batch.
		British Rail assigned Class 52 to the class of 74 large Type 4 diesel-hydraulic locomotives built for the Western Region of British Railways between 1961 and 1964.
		The British Rail Class 97/6 diesel shunting locomotives were purpose-built for departmental duties by Ruston and Hornsby at Lincoln in 1953 (97650) or 1959 (97651-654).

	British Rail Class 66 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Class 66 incorporated many ideas from America and differed a lot from the Class 60 built quite recently to a more traditional layout.
		The Class 66 design has also been taken to mainland Europe where it is currently certified for operations in Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and Poland, with certification pending in the Czech Republic, France, and Italy.
		Previously, they had relied on a fleet of second-hand Class 20, Class 33, Class 37 and Class 47 locomotives, which were becoming unreliable and expensive to maintain due to their age.

	British Rail Class 53 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		British Rail assigned Class 53 to the single Brush Traction-built prototype locomotive Falcon.
		Returning to British Railways in 1963, Falcon spent six months working out of Sheffield on both passenger and freight diagrams, after which its testing was completed.
		In 1970, British Rail approached Brush Traction with a proposal to buy the (by now practically worthless) locomotive for its scrap value, which was accepted by the builder; the loco underwent a rebuild at BREL Swindon, emerging in corporate Rail Blue with full yellow ends and bearing the new number D1200.

		The British Rail Class 303 electric multiple units, also known as "Blue Train" units, were introduced for the electrification of the North Clyde line in Strathclyde.
		The electrical gear of the Class 303 units was made by Metrovick and the units had many features which made them state of the art at the time of their introduction.
		The Class 303 fleet were nicknamed the "Blue Trains" upon their introduction, owing to the striking Caledonian Blue livery.

	Encyclopedia: British Rail Class 98 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		TOPS Class 98 has been used to cover all steam locomotives used on the mainline in Britain, but also has a particular usage for the three Vale of Rheidol 2_6_2T locomotives that remained in the ownership of British Rail after the end of mainline steam traction in August 1968.
		These three steam locomotives were the only ones to survive in British Rail's ownership after the end of mainline steam traction in August 1968.
		Under TOPS they were allocated Class 98 and were nominally numbered 98007-98009, but these numbers were never actually carried on the locomotives.

	156 - Class Origins
		British Rail's Provincial Services sector, formed in 1982, was responsible for the unprofitable passenger services outside the Southeast of England.
		Provincial's new rolling stock was among the first to be procured under British Rail's new competitive tendering policy, but this process was complicated by the fact that not only was BREL a wholly owned subsidiary, but it's staff were also represented by the Nation Union of Railwaymen.
		British Rail announced orders for it's 1986 and 1987 build programmes at the same time in November 1985.

		This would allow Class 31s, 37s and 47s which were used on service to be replaced, allowing the withdrawal of the costly and old locomotives.
		The Class 33 were displace from aggregates, Class 20 lost their coal duties and the Class 31 ceased petroleum work.
		The Class 60 were allocated to different trainload types and geographical areas.

	Six firms were invited to tender for the contract to build the Class 60 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		The class 60's have a maximum speed of 60 mph and are mainly used on Class 6 and 7 heavy haul freights.
		The original allocation was for 35 locomotives for the Coal sector, 25 to the Construction sector, 22 to the Metals sector and 18 for the Petroleum sector.
		EWS has no plans to replace the Class 60, as with other classes of freight locomotives, and has in the recent past carried out many heavy repairs to the fleet including extensive fire damage to 60018 and collision damage to 60088.

		So rail in the UK is far safer than other forms of surface transport (and much, much safer, than walking alongside a road), However, it is not as safe as modern railways elsewhere in Europe and in Japan.
		The class 165s used by Thames Trains are mainly three-car units and have a maximum speed of 90 mph.

		Class 24, no. 24081, departing Cheltenham Racecourse on 24th August 2004.
		The British Rail Class 24 diesel locomotives, also known as the Sulzer Type 2, were built from 1958-1961.
		This class was used as the basis for the development of the Class 25 locomotives.

	Class 58
		The announcement by EWS in September 2000 that all surviving members of the class w ould be moved south (in exchange for newer Class 66s) to be allocated to Eastleigh, Hither Green (and Acton) finally qualifies this class for inclusion on Southern E Group pages.
		The Class 58 design results from a 1977 requirement for a low cost easily maintainable heavy freight Co-Co locomotive with export potential, the introduction of the roughly contemporary Class 56 having been what could tactfully be described as grim.
		To meet the specification the traditional British diesel locomotive design practice of a load bearing superstructure was abandoned in favour of a load bearing underframe.

	Travel By British Rail
		There are some short stretches of jointed rail, but these appear to be in places due for replacement as lengths of continuous rail were laid in storage between the running rails.
		Rail travel is so effective in Britain that this pass and some careful selection of cheap (relatively anyway) hotels eliminated the need to rent a car for the whole trip.
		This kind of rail is held between steel clamps and secured against the outer clamp by steel springs or even wooden blocks.

	Class 60
		Following the successful introduction of the General Motors Class 59s in the UK 1986, the then British Rail Railfreight sector became aware just how far behind its operation was in terms of heavy-haul diesel power.
		The 100 strong Class 60 fleet can be found working throughout the EWS network and due to their haulage capacity are normally seen on the heavier freight flows.
		The fleet are allocated to Cardiff Canton, Toton, Eastleigh, Thornaby and Immingham.

	Traction
		It is perhaps true if compared to say a class 40, but more modern designs such as the unique 89 or the classes 59 and 60 are orders of magnitude more sophisticated.
		The control system on the class fifty is unique, and it is this part of the locomotives that makes them more sophisticated than their predecessors.
		When the driver moves his power controller on a class fifty he is effectively setting the desired current he wants to draw from the generator.

	Class 60
		As a result of the considerable success of Foster Yeoman's imported GM class 59 locomotives Railfreight's Petroleum, Construction, Metal and Coal sub-sectors were clamouring for some of their own.
		Thus following on from the Class 56 and Class 58 the Class 60 was British Rail's third and final attempt to produce an indigenous heavy freight diesel locomotive.
		In a hugely different experience from the trouble-free entry of class 59s there was an average of 100 faults per loco and it took a staggering 16 months before first samples were officially accepted.

		The Class 24's covering the Tring/Bletchley/Northampton services suffered to the extent that less than a handful were available, resulting in a steam revival on these lines.
		Shortages of equipment were exacerbated by the backlog of overdue maintenance and by the end of the miners strike at the beginning of March with the consequent return of 'borrowed' locomotives for the movement of coal again.

		The book is particularly good at explaining the differences between similar locomotive classes such as the original diesel-hydraulic classes 41, 42 and 43 or NBL types 21/29 and 22.
		For example, the wheel arrangements of English Electric Class 40 and BR Class 44 are so similar that there must have been some kind of collusion between the two companies.
		The information about the Class 60 is restricted to a written description and 2mm/ft line drawings.
