Deltics on freight turns were never common occurrences during BR service, although all class members did find themselves demoted at some point, whether in positioning moves, assisting failed locos or making their own way to works. Deltics have continued this trend into preservation and few instances, or even photos, exist! Here 55019 (D9019) "ROYAL HIGHLAND FUSILIER" crosses New Bridge level crossing with the 09:20 fitted freight from Pickering to Grosmont during the NYMR's diesel day on 28th April 1984.
