Seen here at London Liverpool Street Station on 18th April 1958. A Class 40 D200 was the first of 200 Type 4 2000 hp Diesel Electric Locomotives to be built by English Electric and Robert Stephenson & Hawthorns for British Railways. They had soon replaced steam haulage on the London to Norwich Route and remained in service on BR until the early 1980s.
