The English, Welsh and Scottish Railway (EWS) is the largest British Rail Freight Operating Company. EWS bought a number of British Rail divisions at the time of privatisation, including Loadhaul Ltd., Mainline Freight Ltd., Rail Express Systems Ltd., and Transrail Ltd. Subsequently they purchased Railfreight Distribution and National Power PLC's railfreight operation.

EWS was originally created as a subsidiary of Wisconsin Central Ltd in 1996, and was acquired by Canadian National Railway when it bought Wisconsin Central in 2001.

EWS has bought 250 Class 66 locomotives replacing the elderly fleet acquired from BR.
