Visiting locomotives 80119 and 257 Squadron depart Goathland Station during the North Yorkshire Moors Railway's annual Steam Gala.

The double-header was travelling from Grosmont to Pickering on the second day of the gala on Friday 26 September 2025.

80119 is officially numbered 80078, but it was amended for the event as a tribute to a loco that worked in the Whitby area.

80078 is a BR Standard 4MT Class locomotive that was built at Brighton Works and completed in 1954.

The loco was in service for British Railways until 1965, based at Tilbury, Stratford, Shrewsbury and Wrexham.

It has been based at Mid Norfolk Railway since 2018.

257 Squadron, numbered 34072, is a Battle of Britain Class loco that was also built at Brighton Works and completed in 1948.

It was one of the first of the batch produced under British Railways ownership.

The loco was based at Dover for a decade before being transferred to Exmouth in 1958 to work across Devon and Cornwall.

It was moved to Eastleigh in 1964 and was withdrawn shortly after with nearly 700,000 miles on the clock.
