British Railways EM1 class Bo+Bo type locomotive postcard


Probably from the early 1950s. The Manchester–Sheffield–Wath electric railway was an electrification scheme on British railways and the route featured long ascents on both sides of the Pennines. The 1.5 kV class with a one-hour power rating of 1,868 hp were built as a series from 1950-1953 and was designed for use on the noute.
