This all-color album follows a similar style to the hugely successful in the Colour for the Modelling and Historian series, and covers the history of electric locomotives in Britain. Gavin Morrison fills a gap in the market for literature on these specific locomotives with this new title. Promoted as part of the Modernisation Plan ofRailfreight in Colour for the Modeller and Historian electrification at 25kV of the West Coast main line from London Railfreight in Colour for the Modeller and Historian Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool, and ultimately Glasgow was one of the most ambitious schemes to emerge from the plan. Gavin Morrison provides a record of the various types of 25kV AC locomotive constructed over the past fifty years. Some of these classes are now as much a part of history as the steam locomotives that they were destined to replace, while others remain at the forefront of main-line service. Development took place in stages culminating in fully electrified lines from London to Scotland on both East and West Coast lines, and from London to Norwich. The introduction of these lines required the construction of new motive power. Initially five types were produced for the WCML, from which the second phase of loco design was developed, giving a higher level of reliability, as well as power output. These newer designs were applied to the Anglian services, but the ECML plans required an updated design, ostensibly for mixed traffic, but hardly ever used on anything other than express passenger services, for which their mph potential enabled a major recast of the timetable. The opening of the Channel Tunnel required a mixed traffic dual voltage locomotive, running on both 25kv and the Southern Region v third rail DC. The locomotives are classified between 81 and 92 inclusive, and this book of photographs by David Cable covers all the classes in a variety of Railfreight in Colour for the Modeller and Historian and duties.

It looks at two fundamental assumptions on which the Board's case for a large and virtually open-ended subsidy rests. Hugh Llewelyn takes a look at the wide variety of traction in and around London over several decades. Marsden Colin J. Author : Colin J. Modern Railroads Modern Railroads Modern Transport Modern Transport Trains Trains Railfreight in Colour This article covers the evolution of British railway freight sectorisation: from regional operation to sectorisation and privatisation. Freight sectorisation refers to the sub-brands that British Rail BR created in the s and early 90s, when it was reorganised from a regional structure to an operational sector based structure and finally into business sectors. Sectorisation can be considered across three periods: up totoand to BR privatisation. Speedlink and Railfreight were the early examples of a BR sector based approach. Speedlink operated from to and was an air-braked wagonload freight service, i. It was created to address the declining levels of wagonload business. BR had been piloting a high-speed freight service, introduced in The service operated fixed timetables linking a small group of key destinations — as opposed to the traditional wagonload service that operated through marshalling yards. The approach produced positive results — operations expanded from 29 trains per day in to per day in However, BR Railfreight operational performance was to prove unsatisfactory to some major customers. Ina portent of the prospect of rail privatisation appeared when quarry company Foster Yeoman now Aggregate Industries acquired 4 subsequently 5 powerful North American hp locomotives from General Motors GM-EMDto haul heavier and longer loads from its Wiltshire, Merehead quarry Torr Works to stone terminals in the South East. This created the third largest freight company in the UK, delivering aggregate material for major infrastructure works, including the Thames Barrier, Railfreight in Colour for the Modeller and Historian Second Severn Crossing, Channel Tunnel and, more recently, Heathrow T5. Any operations not assigned to either Trainload Freight or Railfreight Distribution were handled under a Railfreight General branding, although its limited responsibilities were later taken over by Railfreight Distribution. The sectors were given distinctive individual branding. Trainload Freight TLF was formed in October out of the previous Railfreight trainload block-train freight operations division and continued until BR privatisation inalbeit reorganised again in At the outset [], the company was authorised to acquire Class 60 locomotives. The TLF division was divided into separately branded industry sub-sectors, to service high-volume customers; these were Coal, Construction, Metals, and Petroleum. Where a sub-sector had insufficient resources available, it was often practice to borrow available assets from another sub-sector. Railfreight in Colour for the Modeller and Historian Coal sub-sector included merry-go-round block coal train movements for power stations and provided resources steel and cement works, Fly Ash and Nuclear Flasks. The Coal sub-sector decal was made up of a yellow square, containing four black diamonds, offset over a smaller black upper square. The decal repeater displayed black diamonds on a yellow strip. The Construction sub-sector included aggregates, self-discharge trains, cement, lime, and gypsum trains, refuse, and Channel Tunnel materials. The Construction decal contained alternate small Railfreight in Colour for the Modeller and Historian and yellow squares, Railfreight in Colour for the Modeller and Historian as a square and offset on top of a blue square. The repeater strip was alternate blue and yellow squares. The Metals sub-sector serviced iron ore, slab, semi-finished products, wire coil, scrap metal, aluminum, and limestone. The Metals decal contained alternate blue and yellow chevrons, formed in a square, offset on top of a blue square. The repeater strip displayed alternate blue and yellow chevrons. The Petroleum sub-sector included oil, petroleum, chemicals, bitumen, LPG, aviation fuel, and locomotive fuel operations. The Petroleum decal was made up of a square of alternate blue and yellow waves, offset on a blue upper square. The repeater strip contained blue and yellow alternate waves. RfD was responsible for non-trainload freight operations, as Railfreight in Colour for the Modeller and Historian as Freightliner and Intermodal services. In its early years the division was occasionally referred to as Speedlink Distribution and RfD was also responsible for freight operations through the Channel Tunnel. Thirty Class 92 locomotives were procured for RfD in preparation for freight working through the Channel Tunnel. Further Class 92s were also procured by Eurostar and SNCF and were originally set for Nightstar international sleeper
