A few hours out to my usual East Coast haunt of York, plus heading to Northallerton (a new location in my book), produced quite a lot of traffic.

The main attraction however, was the A1 Steam Locomotive Trust's 60163 Tornado working the York to Newcastle steam leg of Pathfinder Tour's Tyne Tornado, which had started in Cardiff with two DB Schenker class 67's, which were 67001 and 67006 Royal Sovereign (not featured, but being mentioned for the record).

Then it was back to York for a few hours looking around at the National Railway Museum.

Hope you enjoy the pictures!

The main attraction racing through Northallerton, heading for Newcastle: The A1 Steam Locomotive Trust's 60163 Tornado in charge of Pathfinder Tour's Tyne Tornado, which had originated from Cardiff, with a pair of DB Schenker 67's. 60163 took over at York, and got going only a few minutes late. The locomotive (built in 2008) is already making a name for itself, with a few successful tours under it's belt, and the prospect of many more to come. She also recently had the prestigious honour of hauling the Royal Train from York to Leeds, on the day of her naming ceremony.
