The main electric freight loco is the class 90. Class 92s are little used.

You sure about that? I thought the 90 was a passenger loco that only
occasionally did light freight because its built for high speed, not pulling
power.

When did you last see a class 92 hauling anything? Most electric freight
are hauled by class 90s.

I've never seen either on the NLL tbh. When I used to get the ELL from
highbury I saw maybe 1 freight train a week and without exception they
were all hauled by diesels.


Is that perhaps because the GOBLIN hasn't been electrified yet....??
