60009 Union of South Africa is an LNER Class A4 steam locomotive built in Doncaster in 1937. It is one of six surviving Gresley A4s, currently operational and mainline certified. It was briefly renamed ''Osprey'' during 1990–91 due to political opposition against apartheid South Africa at the time. ==Names==
Built by the London and North Eastern Railway (LNER) in 1937 at Doncaster and originally numbered 4488, it was named after the then newly formed Union of South Africa. It had previously been allocated the name ''Osprey'' on 17 April 1937, but was renamed Union of South Africa to operate the Coronation streamlined train. It eventually carried the name ''Osprey'' from 1990–91. This was due to the contemporary political opposition against South Africa, which undertook a controversial policy of racial apartheid from 1948–94. The name Osprey had previously been carried by A4 No. 4494 (renamed after the LNER director Andrew K. McCosh after 1942) and LNER Peppercorn Class A1 No. 60131 from 1949–65. 60009's name has since reverted to ''Union of South Africa''. The works number was 1853; the plaques are located in the cab itself and not on the exterior cab sides as is the usual practice.
