| | British Rail Class 66 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | On the privatisation of British Rail's freight operations in 1996, English, Welsh and Scottish Railway (EWS), then a subsidiary of Wisconsin Central and since acquired by Canadian National, bought most of British Rail's freight operations. |
 | | Direct Rail Services (DRS) is the latest company to opt for Class 66 locomotives. |
 | | 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. |
