This article says the locomotive is based upon the EMD SD50. However, there's no mention of it there, but the EMD SD40-2 article describes the class 59 as a variant. Which is correct? -- 98.254.202.225 ( talk) 02:22, 24 July 2013 (UTC)

The involvement of 59101 in the railcrash at Southall keeps getting added and then removed on the grounds that it wasn't damaged. This doesn't make a lot of sense. It was there and involved in the incident. Should we ignore the trailing power car at Stonehaven because it wasn't damaged? Murgatroyd49 ( talk) 17:42, 27 October 2021 (UTC)
The freight locomotive was not involved in the crash.The loco number 59101 is only mentioned in three places in the entire report - all being in paragraph 1.10 on page 6; and the phrase "Class 59" only twice - once in the same paragraph, the other in para. 1.14, page 9.

This article makes several citations to "Marsden 2008" and it's unclear which work this is meant to be. Mackensen (talk) 14:59, 10 April 2022 (UTC)
The dimensions that I put in the infobox came from Marsden (2008) and this uses the imperial measurements that EMD used when the locomotives were designed. @ XAM2175: what source do you have that uses the metric units you give? Geof Sheppard ( talk) 18:29, 7 February 2023 (UTC)
