{"title":"Class 58","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe British Rail Class 58 was a class of fifty Co-Co diesel-electric locomotives built\u003cbr\u003eby British Rail Engineering Limited (BREL) at Doncaster Works between 1983 and\u003cbr\u003e1987. Designed primarily for heavy freight, especially coal traffic, the class\u003cbr\u003erepresented a major break with previous British locomotive practice because it used\u003cbr\u003ea modular construction method intended to reduce manufacturing and maintenance\u003cbr\u003ecosts. Although the locomotives were built with the expectation of a long domestic\u003cbr\u003ecareer and possible export sales, changes in freight traffic and the arrival of newer\u003cbr\u003etraction meant that all were withdrawn from service in Britain by 2002.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0019\/3957\/0801\/collections\/header_0f901466-b05d-42d6-a0c3-ba936ad7a599.jpg?v=1781016440","url":"https:\/\/www.accurascale.ca\/collections\/class-58.oembed","provider":"Accurascale","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
