British railfreight today and tomorrow, 1984
Wikipedia website, 22 April 2014 (Railfreight was a sector of British Rail responsible for all freight operations on the British network; existed as a single unit from 1982 until 1987 as the rail freight division of British Rail. In 1987 BR freight operations were further divided according to type of train operation and material carried; the Trainload Freight division [no publications on BL database] and its subsectors handled unit trains of coal, metal, aggregates and construction materials, Railfreight Distribution handled intermodal and non-unit train work, and channel tunnel freight. Activities which were not assigned to one of the new Trainload Freight or Railfreight Distribution subsectors were then continued under the Railfreight General banner, Railfreight General [no publications on BL database] was dissolved in 1989, its limited responsibilities being taken over by Railfreight Distribution)
