This print captures the iconic Flying Scotsman as it returns home from its historic journey in America. The locomotive is seen here at Chinley, Derbyshire, enroute to British Rail Derby for a much-needed overhaul on 19th February 1973. After its return from America, the Flying Scotsman regained its place in passenger-hauling service and embarked on new adventures. In July 1973, it proudly resumed operations on the Torbay Steam Railway before making a triumphant return to hauling special excursions over BR mainline tracks in September of that same year. Designed by the renowned Sir Herbert Nigel Gresley, the Flying Scotsman has been an integral part of express passenger train service between Edinburgh and London since 1862. Its name was officially adopted in 1924.

This achievement set a record for scheduled services at that time. The misty backdrop adds an air of mystery and nostalgia to this image while showcasing the power and majesty of steam locomotion.
