British Rail operated a large number of different diesel locomotive types. The majority of these were built between 1955 and 1968. The majority of these were built between 1955 and 1968. Many classes were rushed into service as part of the 1955 Modernisation Plan , but poor reliability and a rapid decline in rail transport meant that some would ...

The British Rail Class 50 is a class of diesel locomotives designed to haul express passenger trains at 100 mph (160 km/h). Built by English Electric at the Vulcan Foundry in Newton-le-Willows between 1967 and 1968, the Class 50s were initially on a 10-year lease from English Electric Leasing, and were employed hauling express passenger trains on the then non-electrified section of the West ...
The locomotives ordered were intended to match older types in terms of haulage capacity whilst at the same time being more fuel-efficient. The project was a collaborative effort between Freightliner and GE, with input from drivers on the cab design. [1] [2] The locomotives utilize a GE PowerHaul P616 diesel engine rated at 2,750 kW (3,690 hp). [3]

The British Rail Class 09 is a class of 0-6-0 diesel locomotive designed primarily for shunting and short-distance freight trips along branch lines. [2]The 26 locos are nearly identical to the more numerous Class 08 shunting locomotives but have different gearing, giving a higher top speed of 27.5 mph (44 km/h) at the expense of a lower tractive effort.
The British Rail Class 59 is a fleet of Co-Co diesel-electric locomotives built between 1985 and 1995 by the Electro-Motive Division of General Motors for use in Great Britain. A total of 15 locomotives were built for three different operators. They were both the first privately-owned diesel locomotives, and the first US-made diesel locomotives ...
