The Green Goddess is one of the railway's most iconic locomotives and is known for its striking green livery. It is a 4-6-2 "Pacific" class locomotive, designed by the renowned locomotive engineer Henry Greenly. The Green Goddess was built in 1925 and initially named "Green Ayre." However, it was later renamed "Green Goddess" in the 1930s, giving it the name it is known by today.
