I didn't know Class 50s were ever put on freight duties? 🤔

Very common in their latter years, a number were specifically for engineers trains. They often worked freight throughout their career.

Originally fitted with slow speed control for MGR working on the LMR.

I did not know that.. I think because I never saw it, plus they were an express class locomotive rated at 100mph, and they all got Royal Navy battle ship names, it gave tge impression they were passenger haulers only... especially that there was a huge fleet of 56s and 50 58s purpose built for freight. Interesting to know though.
