A detailed photographic tribute to the Class 58 locomotives of British Rail.

Introduced in 1983, the Class 58s were a unique design built at Doncaster Works with an eye towards export. Fitted with Ruston Paxman engines, they primarily hauled merry-go-round coal traffic. Despite early wheelslip issues and the lack of export orders, these locomotives became a reliable workhorse.

This volume chronicles the Class 58's service from their red-stripe Railfreight livery to their eventual withdrawal, featuring a range of period photographs and detailed captions. Discover the story of these locomotives, their various liveries, and their role in British Rail's freight operations. Perfect for railway enthusiasts and historians alike.
