A train named after Rob Burrow has been unveiled by Northern as a heartfelt tribute.
The artwork covers two carriages of the Class 195 train and features a photograph of Rob playing international rugby.
The train was unveiled at a ceremony over in Castleford and also features a timeline of his incredible achievements on and off the pitch inside the carriages.
Northern has been working closely with Rob's family and the MND association to create a design that commemorates his life and raises awareness of the disease.

Lindsey Burrow said at the unveiling: “We are deeply honoured that Northern has chosen to name a train after Rob.
"Rob was not only an extraordinary rugby league player, but a devoted husband, father and inspiration to so many.
"Rob’s courage, bravery and tireless advocacy for those living with MND has touched hearts across the nation. By dedicating a train in his memory, this carries forward his legacy and reminds everyone of the power of determination, love and community.
"Thank you to everyone who continues to support and remember him."
Northern's managing director Tricia Williams said: “I’m so glad members of Rob's family were able to join us on his birthday for the unveiling of this train and would like to thank them for working with us to make it happen.
“He was an inspiration to so many people across the North, for his immense bravery in the face of adversity and an unwavering dedication to helping others living with MND.
“Hopefully everyone who sees this train will take a moment to think about Rob’s legacy and join the fight against MND, by making a donation to improve care and fund research into a cure.”
Earlier this year, Northern agreed a partnership with the MND Association and its staff have pledged to raise thousands of pounds for research to help find a cure for the terminal, neurological disease which leaves people unable to speak, eat or even breathe.
