    35022 Holland America Line - I understand this was the last steam loco to do over 100 mph in BR service, as well as its well known exploits at the Rugby Testing Plant and on locomotive exchanges with the Midland (during which it buckled its coupling rods, not to be confused with Bibby Line that suffered a broken axle or United States Line that had a cracked driving wheel).
