British Class Locomotive

A British Class Locomotive system labels trains based on their design and purpose. The classes use a combination of letters and numbers; for example, "Class 47" refers to a specific type of diesel-electric locomotive used mainly for freight and passenger services. The system helps identify the locomotive's characteristics, such as power source, size, and role. This classification allows railway companies to maintain, operate, and assign locomotives efficiently within the network. It provides a standardized way to organize and understand the diverse range of engines used across the UK railway system.
