Non_Stop Colas Rail_ Freight Train loaded with Cut Timber heading South at Kirby Stephen Railway Station, 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.
