A scene that is full of historical interest to the

north of Selby station. 55006 'The Fife and Forfar Yeomanry' takes the 14.05 King's Cross to York away from the station and is about to cross the swing bridge. The signal box that controls the operation of the swing bridge straddles the up and down running lines with the accumulator tower to the left just behind it. The roof and gable end of the closed Selby signal box is behind the train. Notice the enthusiast hanging out of the droplight taking in the grandeur of a Deltic doing what it did best, namely, making a lot of noise as it accelerates rapidly with a fast express train! But, having said that, the train is severely speed restricted until the last carriage has passed over the swing bridge, but then it will all kick off!
