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.


12 out of service, 15 in passenger service leaves 23 in freight service.
They've been regularly used for freight since their early days

Also don't forget the 17 class 86s still in service with Freightliner, and
DRSs 88s soon to enter service.
