The Class 47's were used across the whole British Rail network, in both passenger and freight roles. Most 47s were built with steam heating which was later replaced with electric. Eighty-one were built for freight-only duties with no heating and were fitted with slow-speed control, while twenty-two had dual or just electric heating and were used for passenger, parcels, and mail trains.
