Diesel Locomotives and Railcars PDF Print E-mail


The Kent and East Sussex, like most heritage railways, relies mainly on steam locomotives, both as motive power and as an attraction to visitors. The Railway has, nonetheless, a long history of traction by internal combustion. The Stephens era saw, of course, the early railcars and small diesel locomotives were used by British Railways. In the preservation era there has been little objection to the presence of diesels for shunting, for use on engineer's trains, for some off-peak services and in emergencies.
