For the first time in half a century, a steam train has hit 100mph on one of Britains main rail lines. During testing last night, Tornado, Britains newest steam train, reached the speed on the East Coast Main Line (ECML), which runs between London and Edinburgh, the BBC reported. The event was described as a fairly historic evening, and quite a quick one by BBC Look Norths Tom Ingall. It was the first time a steam engine had reached 100mph on the ECML since 1967.
