D938

D938 is a designation that can refer to several different entities, most notably a specific type of diesel-electric locomotive and a road. The locomotive D938 was a British Rail Class 40 diesel locomotive, built in 1959. These locomotives were a significant part of British Rail's fleet during the 1960s and 1970s, primarily used for freight and passenger services. D938 was one of the original fifty locomotives in its class, known for its distinctive "whale" sound and its powerful performance. It has since been preserved.

Alternatively, D938 can also refer to a road, often a county or regional route. The specific location and nature of a road designated D938 would depend on the country and local administrative divisions. For example, in some areas, D-roads are part of a numbering system for highways or main roads, and D938 would simply be the identifier for one such route. Without further context, it is difficult to pinpoint a specific road D938. The meaning of D938 is thus context-dependent, but the locomotive is a well-defined historical artifact.
