BR standard class 9F 92220 Evening Star

British Railways BR standard class 9F number 92220, named Evening Star, is a preserved British railway locomotive. She was the last steam locomotive to be built by British Railways, in 1960.

Evening Star was built in Swindon in 1960. She was given a special livery of passenger green, unlike other members of her class of heavy freight locomotive which were painted black, and named Evening Star after a previous locomotive on the Great Western Railway and consistent with the naming of the BR standard class 7's.

Although steamed since her retirement from BR, Evening Star is currently a static exhibit at the National Railway Museum, York.
