The British Rail Class 58 is a class of Co-Co diesel locomotive designed for heavy freight. The narrow body with cabs at either end led to them being given the nickname "Bone" by rail enthusiasts. Their design represented a major departure from British conventions of construction; amongst the innovations was the adoption of the American practice of modularisation. The first locomotive of the class was delivered to British Rail during early 1983 and entered service that same year. Despite expectations of a lengthy service life, during 2002, EWS decided to withdraw all examples of the type after only 19 years in service. Subsequently, 32 were hired abroad – four to the Netherlands, eight to Spain and twenty to France. A few examples have also been scrapped or have entered preservation.

  • Die BR-Klasse 58 ist eine aus dem Vereinigten Königreich stammende Baureihe von dieselelektrischen Lokomotiven für den Einsatz vor Güterzügen, die zwischen 1982 und 1987 von der British-Rail-Tochtergesellschaft British Rail Engineering hergestellt wurde. (de)
  • La Classe 58 est une série de locomotives Diesel Co-Co, conçues pour le trafic de fret lourd. Mises en service en 1983 sur le réseau des chemins de fer britanniques, elles suivent le concept américain de modularisation. Elles ont d'origine reçu la livrée grise du secteur Railfreight au lieu de la livrée bleue des BR. EWS les a retirées du service au début des années 2000, mais certaines d'entre elles ont été louées ensuite dans d'autres pays, dont les Pays-Bas, l'Espagne (L36) et la France, en particulier pour des chantiers de travaux ferroviaires.

  • De British Rail Class 58 is een zesassige diesellocomotief uit Groot-Brittannië bedoeld voor inzet in het zware goederenverkeer. De locomotieven werden gebouwd tussen 1983 en 1987 en in dienst gesteld bij British Rail, en werden na de privatisering overgenomen door EWS. Nadat EWS deze locomotieven in 2002 verving door Class 66 is een aantal locomotieven naar het vasteland gekomen. Drie zijn er in dienst gekomen bij ACTS in Nederland (vernummerd in 5811, 5812 en 5814), 8 in Spanje en 20 in Frankrijk. (nl)
