The Tornado steam locomotive is seen carrying her first passengers through Durham

The Tornado Steam Locomotive is seen carrying her first passengers through Durham, northern England January 31, 2009. The last of the Peppercorn class A1 steam locomotives was scrapped in 1966, but this new locomotive, number 60163 Tornado, and built by the A1 Steam Locomotive Trust in Darlington, pulled her first passengers on the Network Rail main line from York to Newcastle-upon-Tyne on Saturday.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, the magnificent Tornado steam locomotive proudly carries her first passengers through the picturesque city of Durham in northern England. The year is 2009, and history is being rewritten as this iconic train embarks on a remarkable journey. Once thought to be lost forever, the Peppercorn class A1 steam locomotives were sadly scrapped back in 1966. However, hope was reignited when the A1 Steam Locomotive Trust in Darlington took up the challenge of resurrecting these majestic machines from a bygone era. And so it was that number 60163 Tornado emerged from their skilled hands. With its gleaming black exterior and powerful presence, Tornado stands as a symbol of both nostalgia and progress. As she gracefully chugs along the Network Rail main line from York to Newcastle-upon-Tyne, she captivates all who witness her grandeur. This momentous occasion marks not only a triumph for engineering enthusiasts but also for those who appreciate our rich railway heritage. Nigel Roddis skillfully captures this historic event with his lens, immortalizing Tornado's inaugural passenger journey. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded that even amidst an ever-changing world driven by modern technology, there will always be room for cherished relics like Tornado to remind us of where we came from and inspire us towards new horizons.
