Hanson ARC
The four Class 59/1 locomotives owned by Hanson Aggregates (parent company of the former owner ARC) are similar to the Class 59/0 locomotives of Foster Yeoman and were built by General Motors Diesel Division at its London, Ontario plant in 1990. The main differences are a revised layout for the headlights and marker lights, and modifications to the suspension to permit the maximum speed to be increased to 75 mph (121 km/h) (if required in the future) with the fitting of yaw dampers.
The four Hanson locomotives operated by Mendip Rail are:
- 59101 Village of Whatley
- 59102 Village of Chantry
- 59103 Village of Mells
- 59104 Village of Great Elm
