Class 55 No. 55019 'Royal Highland Fusilier' speeds through Brookmans Park Station on 9th December 1977. New, in November 1961, to Haymarket MPD Edinburgh, the loco was to spend most of it's working life allocated to the Scottish Depot being renumbered as No. 55019 during November 1973. Relegated to secondary duties in the late 1970's entailed a reallocation to York MPD. Final withdrawl was from York on 31st December 1981 but luckily a new life in preservation beckoned and nowadays 'Royal Highland Fusilier' can be seen at Barrow Hill Roundhouse.
