17. DC Electric Locomotives

1st January 2007

Southern Region Classes 71 and 73 were 3rd-rail based, the latter also fitted with a small diesel engine making them very versatile. The 76 and 77 designs faded with the closure of the Woodhead line. The Class 73s outlived the other designs and some are still actively used, including with GBRf and Network Rail.
