Die Klasse 40 der British Railways war eine Baureihe von Diesellokomotiven mit elektrischer Leistungsübertragung für den schweren Personen- und Güterzugdienst, die von 1958 bis 1962 bei English Electric und Robert Stephenson and Hawthorns in England gebaut wurde. rdf:langString
The British Rail Class 40 is a type of British railway diesel electric locomotive. A total of 200 were built by English Electric between 1958 and 1962. They were numbered D200-D399. They were, for a time, the pride of British Rail's early diesel fleet. However, despite their initial success, by the time the last examples were entering service they were already being replaced on some top-level duties by more powerful locomotives. As they were slowly relegated from express passenger uses, the type found work on secondary passenger and freight services where they worked for many years. The final locomotives ended regular service in 1985. The locomotives were commonly known as "Whistlers" because of the distinctive noise made by their turbochargers. rdf:langString

Zbudowanych zostało 200 egzemplarzy lokomotywy, większość w zakładach Vulcan Foundry. Pojedyncza seria 20 lokomotyw powstała w zakładach . Lokomotywy rozpoczęły służbę obsługując pociągi pasażerskie na głównych liniach kolejowych (m.in. West Coast Main Line, East Coast Main Line i Great Eastern Main Line), zastępując w tej roli parowozy. Stosunkowo niewielka moc silnika (2000 bhp) względem masy pojazdu, skutkująca słabym przyspieszeniem, spowodowała, że w ciągu kilku lat od rozpoczęcia eksploatacji, ich miejsce na tych liniach zaczęły zajmować lokomotywy wyposażone w silniki o większej mocy (m.in. i Class 47). Class 40 przeznaczono tymczasem do obsługi pociągów towarowych i drugorzędnych połączeń pasażerskich. W 1976 roku zaczęto wycofywanie lokomotyw ze służby. Ostatnie egzemplarze opuściły ją w 1985 roku.
