In 2017, 60163 Tornado made history by being the first steam locomotive to officially hit 100mph in the UK since 1967. Huw Parker of the A1 Steam Locomotive Trust tells how this came about, what it was like on the night, and what's been going on since the speed run.

My theory why DB cargo would be so permissive and carefull would likely be as there are mainline steam excursions in germany itself, the operators main country

Im Hoping That HS2 Will Help. They Say It Will Be Taking Most Of The High Speed Trains Off The Mainline. By Then,They Will Have To Slow Down Steam Services For All The Slow Trains That Will Still Be On The Mainline By Then.
