Engineers of the LNER
(Note: The use of the word engineer is with the English meaning of "locomotive designer",
and not the American meaning of "engine driver".)
The LNER railway is probably most famous for its express passenger locomotives designed by their
Chief Mechanical Engineer (CME)
Sir Nigel Gresley. The LNER also had
two other CMEs, and used many locomotives inherited from its predecessors or designed by
contemporaries:
