Tornado starts out in great style, but is overtaken (@ 2.05 mins) by a diesel railcar on the East Coast Main Line.
Steam engine Tornado 60163 is leaving Peterborough; en route from London Kings Cross to York on 16/8/2010. "Cathedral Express" tour organized by Steam Dreams.
60163 Tornado is a main-line steam locomotive built in Darlington, England, the first such locomotive built in the United Kingdom since Evening Star, the last steam locomotive built by British Railways, in 1960. Designed to meet modern safety and certification standards, Tornado runs on the UK rail network and on mainline-connected heritage railways. The locomotive is named after the Panavia Tornado military jet.
