An 18-tonne steam locomotive made a 213-mile journey by road from London to its new home in York.
The Columbine has been transported from the Science Museum in South Kensington to the National Railway Museum (NRM), where it is now on display.
It was built in 1845 and initially moved from the NRM to be part of a new exhibition at the London site in 2000, where it had stayed for more than a quarter of a century.
It is on show for the first time in 26 years.
The engine was winched onto a frame at the Science Museum, moved on to a low-loader to transport it, before being put onto another vehicle so it could fit under the bridges.
They also had to wait until the museum was closed in order to move the vehicle inside and put the engine onto the turntable in The Great Hall.
