Description: | From David Birt's book 'Steaming Through the 1980s; Steam Resurrected in and around Derby': Preserved steam locomotive 4468 Mallard is seen heading 'The Peter Allen Pullman' steam special from London Marylebone at speed through Bromford Bridge, having not long left Birmingham New Street for Derby and the north. The Mallard steamed to fame in 1938, hitting a 126 mph peak between Grantham and Peterborough - the fastest speed ever achieved by a steam locomotive in the world. | Format: | JPEG/IMAGE | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.0/uk/ | Publisher: | North East Midland Photographic Record | Source: | Picture the Past OAI feed | Creator: | Birt, David.
