Type 4 D212 'Aureol' passes through Rugby at the head of the 08:30am Carlisle & Windermere to Euston express. Built in June 1959, the locomotive was only four months old at the time of the photograph. Later renumbered under TOPs as 40 012, the locomotive remained in revenue service until February 1985 after which it was used by the Civil Engineering Department for a year then stored for spares. It was eventually preserved in March 1989 at the Midland Railway Centre at Butterley.
