RAIL PORTFOLIOS: Classes 56 & 58

185 freight locomotives of the two classes were built between 1976 and 1987, principally to power the then-expanding network of 'merry-go-round' coal trains. Closure of most of Britain's collieries and the arrival of more modern classes has resulted in their total withdrawal. First published more than 15 years ago, this reprinted and expanded edition of all-colour photos brings the classes up to date. 81 colour photos.
