British Rail Class 56 History
🚂 The British Rail Class 17 “Clayton” — A Diesel That Tried, But Never Quite Triumphed 🚂 Introduced in the early 1960s, the Class 17 was an ambitious attempt by British Rail to replace ageing steam shunters and mixed-traffic engines with a new generation of centre-cab diesel locomotives.
