The Class 58 was one of British Rail’s boldest diesel experiments — a locomotive built with power, simplicity, and heavy freight firmly in mind. Introduced in the early 1980s, the Class 58 broke away from traditional British locomotive design. Instead of a single rigid frame, it used a modular construction, borrowing ideas from American freight practice. This made the locomotives quicker to build and easier to maintain — at least in theory. Powered by a Ruston-Paxman RK3 engine delivering 3,300

British Rail class 73 (73001) at Wirksworth station in Derbyshire. This electro-diesel locomotive was built in 1962 at the BR Eastleigh Works. This type of locomotive can operate on DC third rail power supply, or an onboard diesel engine to allow it to be used on non-electrified routes. There are quite a few class 73 locomotives still in main line service. A few have been preserved, but they only operate using their diesel engine, as no heritage railway has a third rail power set up. #trains #di
