sits idle at the stops in York Station

 

The loco began her long service with British Railways in 1965 as E3190 but was renumbered to 86210 in 1973 under TOPS and took the number 86902 in 2004.

 

Like all good things that come to an end , she was withdrawn from the Network Rail Fleet in 2014 and laid unmolested at Booth's Scrapyard in Rotherham for two years until the cutter's torch was lit up in 2016 to prepare for dismantling in her 51st year.
