The North Yorkshire Moors Railway (NYMR) is a heritage railway in North Yorkshire, England, that runs through the North York Moors National Park. First opened in 1836 as the Whitby and Pickering Railway, the railway was planned in 1831 by George Stephenson as a means of opening up trade routes inland from the then important seaport of Whitby. The line between Grosmont and Rillington was closed in 1965 and the section between Grosmont and Pickering was reopened in 1973 by the North York Moors Historical Railway Trust Ltd. The preserved line is now a tourist attraction. Locomotive 92134 was built at Crewe Works in June 1957 and allocated on completion to Saltley (depot from1948 - 31 August 1963) . On its withdrawal on 31 December 1966, it was allocated to Birkenhead depot 1948-1963. It was sold to Woodham Brothers for scrap and moved to their scrapyard at Barry Island in June 1967. Rescued for preservation in December 1980, 92134 became the 116th locomotive to leave Barry after having been there for 13 years and 6 months. Originally it went to Steam & Sail Engineering Ltd at Brightlingsea, in Essex, together with an LMS 4-6-0. It was still there in 1988, fully stripped down, but ownership wrangles led to it being resold again and it then headed to the North Yorkshire Moors Railway. 92134's restoration was mostly carried out by Crewe Heritage Centre in Crewe, but in February 2016, the loco moved to the East Lancashire Railway, before moving again in early 2018 back to the North Yorkshire Moors Railway. In September 2019, the locomotive was steamed for the first time in 53 years.In the summer of 2021, 92134 was used to portray a German steam locomotive in the 2023 movie Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny.
