A row of Class 55 Deltic diesel locomotives built by English Electric in 1961-1962

A row of Class 55 Deltic diesel locomotives built by English Electric in 1961-1962. The fleet of 22 Deltics did the work of 55 A4 steam locomotives and cut an hour off the working timetable. Each powered by two Napier Deltic engines, these locomotives were the most powerful diesels ever built when they were introduced. The Deltics continued in service until 1978, and were then transferred to York Depot where they were used until 1982. National Railway Museum is the home of iconic locomotives.

Standing tall with their distinctive insignia and logo, these powerful machines revolutionized the railway industry during their time. With each locomotive equipped with two Napier Deltic engines, they became the most potent diesel engines ever constructed upon their introduction.
