SR Merchant Navy Class 35028 Clan Line

After rebuilding in 1959, it was initially allocated to Nine Elms shed, from where it headed such trains as the Bournemouth Belle and the Atlantic Coast Express.

On 2 July 1967, Clan Line hauled a farewell special from London Waterloo to Bournemouth and back and thus ended its British Railways career.

[1] One month after finishing the farewell special, Clan Line was bought by the Merchant Navy Locomotive Preservation Society from British Railways for £3,850.

[citation needed] 35028 Clan Line was the first Merchant Navy class locomotive to operate on the mainline in preservation.

On 7 December 2018, Clan Line hauled the British Royal Train, taking the Prince of Wales to Cardiff Central railway station.
