Encyclopedia > British Rail Class 45

The British Rail Class 45 diesel locomotives were built by British Rail Derby and Crewe Works from 1960 to 1962. They were the successors to the Class 44 locomotives. When initially put into service the locomotives were fitted with multi-unit working and steam heating boilers for passenger service. In the early 1970s 50 were fitted with electric train supply in place of their steam heating boilers, and assigned to work services on the Midland Main Line from London St Pancras to Nottingham, Derby and Sheffield. All were withdrawn from service by 1989.
