Type 5 Heavy Freight Locomotives

An illustrated tribute to four defining heavy freight locomotive classes.

Type 5 Heavy Freight Locomotives by David Cable is a photographic celebration of the powerful diesel locomotives that helped reshape British freight operations before the privatisation era.

Focusing on the Class 56, Class 58, Class 59 and Class 60, this album showcases the locomotives built to meet the growing demand for stronger, more reliable traction on heavy freight services including coal, minerals, fuel and other bulk traffic.

Class 59 An American-designed locomotive that transformed UK freight haulage with exceptional reliability and performance.
Class 56 A powerful BR heavy freight type, once criticised for availability but now increasingly appreciated by enthusiasts.
Class 58 Purpose-built for heavy freight and instantly recognisable by its distinctive “Bone” profile.
Class 60 The final BR-designed heavy freight diesel, still associated with some of the heaviest trains in Britain.

Featuring a wide selection of photographs across different locations, liveries and operating periods, this book offers a strong visual record of an important era in British freight railway history.

Written by noted railway photographer and author David Cable, this title is ideal for railway enthusiasts, modellers and anyone interested in the evolution of Britain’s modern heavy freight locomotive fleet.
