Class 71
The Class 71 is a type of electric locomotive that was built in the United Kingdom during the 1960s. Designed for use on the British rail network, these locomotives were primarily used for passenger services. They are notable for their distinctive design and were among the first electric locomotives to operate in the UK.
The Class 71 locomotives are equipped with a pantograph, which allows them to draw power from overhead wires. They were originally used on routes such as the Southern Region and have since been retired from regular service, with some units preserved for historical purposes.
