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.
