This definitely wasn't to be missed! See 2 giants of the ECML exchanging duties at York with D9000 'Royal Scots Grey' giving way to A4 Pacific 'Sir Nigel Gresley'.
See the Deltic arrive into platform 11 at York having burst up the ECML from Kings Cross arriving ahead of schedule. RSG heads off for a rest and is replaced by 60007 'Sir Nigel' to take on the Steam Dreams service up to Edinburgh.
Lots of enthusiasts out to see this one today - York was busy!
Hope you enjoy the video! Thanks for watching.

Locomotives regardless of being steam, diesel, or anything else powered is like boats & ships they are most likely to be called she's & have been that way for many, many years. Why i really have no idea but, maybe it just sounds better by naming as a she rather than he's. & it's been that way for a very long time ( proberbly since shipping & railways began 🙄🤔) i maybe wrong but, that is my bad memory of it. So, if others have better or more accurate info then fine. But, i will always refer these as she's & even many aircraft are known as she's aswell. i suppose "some" people even call their cars or other modes of transport by a she name. 🙄🙄🙄🤔🤔🤔 It's been like that for many years so who am i to argue with it. I am quite happy for them to be refered as she's. Some don't care & others are not bothered either way it's just a mode of transport to them. The opinion is upto the individual I suppose. It would just depend on how much has respect , care & love for it.

Back in the early 1960`s just before the shutting down of the line between Burton on Trent to Walsall on the old South Staffs Line, I was fortunate to see the "Sir Nigel" hooked up to a 2 coach local service at Pelsall Station. She looked all black and in a really unkempt state and I thought to myself what an inglorious end for a once mighty main-line express Locomotive of the LNER era to be abused like that. Seeing her now in this and other video`s I`m glad she never disappeared into the scrap-yards like so many of her class and now looking magnificent in its original Garter Blue livery.
