In the late 1990s, English, Welsh & Scottish Railway (EWS)
ordered a large fleet of 250 Class 66 locomotives to replace a
variety of freight locomotive types that had been in service with
British Rail for many years. However, EWS also required something
with a bit more performance, as well as electric train supply, for
hauling charter and mail trains, which were still quite common at
that time. A partnership with Royal Mail resulted in the Class 67s
moving post around the country. When Royal Mail ended that
arrangement in 2004, the Class 67s were pushed into other areas of
work, including light freight and occasional passenger services, as
well as continuing with charters. Although the design of the Class
67s has not been to everyone's taste, they do at least add a bit of
variety to the modern scene. During the 20 years that they have
been in service, they have been very reliable with only occasional
failures. Containing 220 images, this book illustrates all 30 locos
in the class during their first two decades in service.
