GB Freight Trains Carlisle Yard to Chirk loaded Colas Rail Timber Train 66845 at Tebay Railway Station, Kirkby Stephen, Cumbria, UK
The Class 57 diesel locomotives were introduced by Brush Traction between 1997-2004. They are rebuilds, with reconditioned General Motors engines, of former Class 47 locomotives, originally introduced in 1964-5. They are known as "bodysnatchers", or "Zombies" to enthusiasts, by virtue of the fact that the shell (body) of the Class 47 has been stripped, rewired and re-engined[1] and as "GM"s due to them being "genetically modified" with General Motors equipment.
