Locomotive named after Joe  Strummer
12/02/2005
A nationwide locomotive was named Joe  Strummer on February 12 at Bristol 
Temple Meads station.

Naming of  locomotives has been a tradition since the start of railways over 
200 years ago,  and it is common practice to name them after famous people.

The  locomotive is a Class 47 diesel – 47828 - built in 1965 by BR at Crewe. 
It was  used by Virgin Trains until 2004 when sold to Cotswold Rail.

Cotswold  Rail is a nationwide supplier of locomotives and rolling stock to 
passenger and  freight train operators and Charter train promoters.

The Joe Strummer is  expected to work mainly in East Anglia.
