DB Cargo Locomotives and Stock in the UK

A detailed look at the locomotives and rolling stock of DB Cargo in the UK, from its origins to the present day.

DB Cargo emerged from the government’s sell-off of the rail freight sector in the mid-1990s. This book explores its evolution, the impact of privatization, and the challenges it faces. Despite increasing competition, DB Cargo remains a major provider of rail freight services in the UK.

John Jackson examines the diverse fleet of diesel and electric locomotives (classes 60, 66, 67, 90, and 92) and the variety of traffic they handle. From Scottish sleeper services to hauling for the Royal Family, this book covers the full range of DB Cargo's operations. It is perfect for railway enthusiasts, historians, and transportation professionals interested in the UK's rail freight industry.
