# List of British Rail Class 87 locomotives

This article gives a list of all British Rail Class 87 locomotives.
Pre-tops numbers E3201–34 were allocated to the first 34 locomotives, but these were never carried. Initially the locomotive names fell into four categories: historical locomotives on the West Coast Main Line or nearby, major population centres on the route, significant figures in British history, or the works of Walter Scott.
