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 44 or Sulzer Type 4 diesel locomotives were built by British Railways' Derby Works between 1959 and 1960, intended for express passenger services. They were originally numbered D1-D10 and named after mountains in England and Wales , and, along with the similar Class 45 and 46 locomotives, they became known as Peaks .
The locomotive meets EU Tier IIIa emission regulations. [4] Freightliner expects that the locomotive's efficiency is 7% higher than contemporary models, with a further 3% increase in efficiency whilst braking; regenerative braking is used to supply the energy to power auxiliary motors. [5] [6] The locomotives were given the Class 70 TOPS code ...
The British Transport Commission, later British Railways, used engine power output to categorise its requirements for the new main line diesel locomotive fleet following the 1955 modernisation plan. The locomotives built and put into service are listed below classified with the TOPS class numbers that were introduced in the early 1970s.
The second use of the TOPS classification Class 21 for locomotives used on the British railway network came through the use of a number of related diesel-hydraulic and diesel-electric locomotives procured following the opening of the Channel Tunnel. The total of 16 locomotives were obtained by two separate operators, with some used for freight ...
