The Class 60 is a type of diesel-electric locomotive built in the United Kingdom. Introduced in the late 1980s, these locomotives were designed for heavy freight services, particularly in the coal and steel industries. They are known for their powerful engines and robust construction, allowing them to haul large loads efficiently. With a distinctive boxy shape, the Class 60 features a cab at one end and a large, flat body. They are equipped with advanced technology for their time, including electronic control systems. Over the years, many Class 60 locomotives have been refurbished and continue to operate in various freight roles across the UK.
