The Class 60s are one of the most powerful freight locomotives to operate in the UK, exceeding the capabilities of locomotives like the class 66 in terms of tractive effort. However, these locomotives have now been withdrawn by their primary operator to be replaced by modified class 66s. In this video, we will explore why this may be the case.

Many thanks, once again, for watching this new format of short railway video essays! The feedback received from the previous class 68 video was greatly appreciated and very motivating to continue producing this type of content. As with last time, any feedback in invaluable!
