| Deltic D9009 "Alycidon" Visiting Nene Valley Railway July to October 2009 |
||||
| Named at Doncaster Works on July 21st 1961 before introduction to traffic, D9009 maintained the 'racehorse' tradition of the LNER by commemorating the winner of the 1949 Ascot Gold Cup. Based at Finsbury Park in North London, Alycidon was one of eight 'racehorse' Deltics stabled there. In May 1981, she moved to York after the closure of Finsbury Park and was one of four Deltics prepared to work a series of farewell railtours during their final six months of operation. Her final outing in BR service was on January 2nd 1982 as standby locomotive for the 'Deltic Scotsman Farewell'. © Deltic Preservation Society | ||||
