The locomotives will be used by Network Rail and will be classified 73/3. The Cummins QSK19 is the same engine used in the Class 220 and Class 221 diesel multiple units.

Famous quotes containing the word class:
“He could jazz up the map-reading class by having a full-size color photograph of Betty Grable in a bathing suit, with a co- ordinate grid system laid over it. The instructor could point to different parts of her and say, “Give me the co-ordinates.”... The Major could see every unit in the Army using his idea.... Hot dog!”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
