Boxcab - Great Britain

Great Britain

Most British diesel and electric locomotives are boxcabs but the term "boxcab" is not used in Britain. Instead, locomotives are referred to by their class numbers, e.g. British Rail Class 47 and British Rail Class 92. British diesel and electric locomotives are nearly always double-ended (i.e. there is a cab at each end).

    I’ll stay until I’m tired of it. So long as Britain needs me, I shall never be tired of it.
