In case you were wondering about named locomotives, here is the

[snip, snip]
Which (if any) other saints have locomotives named after them?
The GWR gave 20 locos saints names. They were:
Agatha, Ambrose, Andrew, Augustine, Bartholomew, Benedict, Bernard,
Catherine, Cuthbert, David, Dunstan, Gabriel, George, Helena, Martin,
Nicholas, Patrick, Sebastian, Stephen, Vincent.
There was an LMS jubilee named St Vincent, but after the island.
There was an LNWR George the Fifth named St George.
There were 2 LNER A1's, St Hugo and St Simon, but these were named after
racehorses..
There was an NBR atlantic named St Johnstoun, after Perth.
