Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The Deltic Preservation Society's Welsh Central Liner railtour is seen arriving at Cardiff Central behind D9009 'Alycidon'. The railtour had run from Burton on Trent, and its final destination was Shrewsbury.

The Deltics were introduced by British Rail in the 1960s, and were most famous for their work on the East Coast Main Line. I never had the chance to see them during their BR career on the mainline, though I often saw pictures of them in railway magazines, and was impressed by their size and imposing shape.

Each of the 22 Deltic locos were named - either after famous army regiments or racehorses, with D9009's relating to the latter category.
