Class 70s

In the late 2000s, Freightliner was looking to expand its locomotive fleet towards more powerful and fuel-efficient locomotives. The new Class 70 was a 3,690bhp locomotive built by General Electric and designed solely for freight use, with a focus on reliability and efficiency. Containing over 190 colour photographs, this book is a collection of images showing every Class 70 locomotive, except the ill-fated 70012, over the last decade or so that they have been in service. It shows a variety of locations, mostly in the south of England, where these impressive locos can be seen at work.
