Class 92 Profile and Models

The Class 92 is a dual-voltage electric locomotive, which is capable of drawing power from either overhead lines or a third rail. They were specifically designed to operate services through the Channel Tunnel between Britain and France but they have also seen use on other services in the UK and Europe since then. The class was intended as a mixed-traffic loco for use on international freight and the ill-fated ‘Nightstar’ sleeper service but were used near exclusively for freight work until 2015, when they began passenger operations as part of the Caledonian Sleeper fleet. The entire fleet survives to this day, with some now exported for use in Europe.
