Selby now has its own Harry Potter.
As the country goes crazy over the boy wizard, Selby company Potter Group has christened one of its two locomotives Harry.
With the eagerly-awaited film out on general release on Friday, the Potter distribution group decided it was the perfect time to christen one of its two shunting trains, which until now had remained nameless.
Steve Dunford-Clayton, manager at the Barlby Road site, said one loco had been named Hercules - but they had never got round to naming the other one.
He said: "When I was appointed manager five months ago I was surprised that one of the locos didn't have a name. I asked around and no one knew why, so we plumped for Harry.
"I'm getting some stick about it but it's making everyone smile."
Mr Dunford-Clayton has only read one of JK Rowling's books.
But he said with the arrival of Harry the Potter train, employees at the firm would have no excuse to miss out on the film version of Harry Potter And The Philosopher's Stone.
