Mention of three notable locomotive projects:

In 1891 the first street electric tramway with overhead electric supply in the British Isles was running on the island of Guernsey.  Falcon Coach Works, part of the original Brush Loughborough business, initially supplied the five trams. The line ran about three miles from Saint Peter Port, the principal town, along the coast to the port of Saint Sampson's, 

​

The 1000th locomotive built by Brush (60098) was a Type 60 diesel electric locomotive named Charles Francis Brush.

 

The Channel Tunnel which links England to France carries 1000's of tons of freight daily.  These trains are pulled by Brush freight locomotives, an all-electric design. The Brush Traction company is now owned by WABTEC Corporation (since 2011), which itself has a distinguished history dating back to the Westinghouse Air Brake product patented in 1868.

​

Since 2011 manufacture of Brush locomotives was owned by Wabtec a successor company to the Westinghouse Brake & Signal company dating from the beginning of the railway engineering industry in the late 1800's. The original Brush Traction locomotive works (part of the Brush Loughborough site) was still occupied by the traction business and remained in use for the rebuild, overhaul and repair of locomotives until 2021.  Wabtec closed the locomotive plant in Loughborough in 2021. 

​

Generations of past and recent Brush employees use their craftsmanship and enthusiasm to support the heritage Great Central Railway which operates daily commuter services between Leicester and Nottingham.  Restored steam locomotives pull excursion trains throughout the year.
