LNER Class A4 4902 Seagull

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. LNER 4902 Seagull was one of 35 Doncaster built Class A4 Gresley Pacific steam locomotives. It entered service on the 28th June 1938 and was withdrawn on the 29th December 1963. Like her famous sister Mallard, Seagull was one of a small number of A4 Pacifics built with a double chimney and double Kylchap blastpipe. 4902 Seagull was based at Kings Cross and ran on the London-Edinburgh line. When British Railways were nationalised and the LNER A4s were renumbered, 60033 Seagull and two of her sisters E22 Mallard and 60034 Lord Farringdon were used for the 1948 Locomotive Exchange Trials. Seagull was used on the ex-GWR line from London down to Devonshire.
