The 1200 class intially saw use for wheat traffic, but later on spent most of their time on the main passenger trains.
1208 was rebuilt as 1225 in 1984-5, using parts from 1252 and 1253 class locos, and also being changed to the narrow body of the 1250 class. It was nicknamed "Hybrid" after this work.
