Class 58 Return to the mainline! 56098 + 58016 + 56301 0Z57 at Chesterfield 15/12/2015
This is the first Class 58 to run on the UK Rail Network in over 10 Years!
EWS withdrew the Class 58s in 2002 after 20 years in service, 32 were sent abroad. Four to the Netherlands, Eight to Spain and Twenty to France. The remaining Class 58s were left to rot in the UK.
