Murphy - there are several classes of freight train. Every train which runs in the UK has a headcode for identification reasons as everywhere else. The Freights are classed as basically: 1. Up to and inc 100MPH (Parcels traffic) 4. Up to and including 75MPH (Intermodal stuff) 6. Up to and including 60 MPH (Majority of freight) 7. Up to and including 45MPH 8. Up to and including 35MPH 9. Have you got all day? (Unfitted - now doesn't run...but you NEVER know) Speed depends on a varitey of factors inter alia axle load, weight and clearance. The TOPS machine will give a class depending on the consist so you can have coal trains which run at Classes 4,6 and 7. Class 9 are now Eurostar trains (RATHER NIPPY) tho Virgin did run a 9 before Christmas as a trial which got a few of us to get the rule books out to look up the bell code. I am sure others will add thier tuppence. I see one two freights a week; class 6 fuel tanks full and their discharged return.
