Quite an appropriate choice as it was delivered to Stratford (London) in March 1959, then spent from November'59 to May'68 at Ipswich Shed, then 4 years at March(Cambs) before moving out of East Anglia. It came back to Stratford for 12 years from 1976-1988 though.
It may be the first loco named after Caroline, but there have been a couple of Ipswich Buses vehicles named after it (not to mention a couple of Mi Amigo's and a Veronica as well)......
