The British Rail (BR) Class 08 is a class of diesel-electric shunting locomotive. The Pioneer Class 08 No. D3000 was built in 1952 although it did not enter service until 1953. Production continued until 1962; 996 locomotives were produced, making it the most numerous of all British locomotive classes.
As the standard BR general-purpose diesel shunter, almost any duty requiring shunting would involve a Class 08. The class became a familiar sight at many major stations and freight yards. Since their introduction, though, the nature of rail traffic in Britain has changed considerably. Freight trains are now mostly fixed rakes of wagons, and passenger trains are mostly multiple units, neither requiring the attention of a shunting locomotive. Consequently, a large proportion of the class has been withdrawn from mainline use and stored, scrapped, exported or sold to industrial or heritage railways.
DB Schenker Rail (UK), before 2009 known as English Welsh & Scottish Railway (EWS), is a British rail freight company headquartered in Doncaster, England.
The company was founded in 1995 as North and South Railways, acquiring five of the six freight companies sold during the privatisation of British Rail, becoming the UK market leader in rail freight transportation.
In November 2007, EWS was sold to Deutsche Bahn, and in January 2009 rebranded as DB Schenker
Eastleigh station, Hampshire, UK
I remember travelling to Bristol and beyond in 1974 and being horrified at seeing Class 25's, I'd expected to see nothing but Westerns and Hymeks (and withdrawn Warships), in my state of shock I took this photo (into the sun of course) as proof that the Western Region was no longer the hydraulic Mecca I thought it to be.
I think 7507 was allocated to Bristol Bath Road at the time, although Cardiff Canton (not too far away) did have a larger allocation.
Date: 3rd March, 1974.

Mirfield
Class 37 37518 (TE) passes the site of Mirfield mpd heading east with a tanker train.
This engine was originally D6776 and became 37076 in 1973. I saw the engine numerous times in this area before its withdrawal from BR. It was a lucky engine and survived into preservation (I saw it at Wansford on the Nene Valley Railway in early 2010) and is currently at the East Lancashire Railway (2011)
