EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the impressive LNER Locomotive Coaling Plant, depicted in vibrant color lithography. The artwork, created by G. P. Micklewright, offers a glimpse into the historical significance of this engineering marvel. The image captures the sheer scale and efficiency of the coaling plant, which could refuel an engine-tender within minutes with just one man operating a lever. With a staggering capacity of 500 tons of coal, it was an essential hub for keeping locomotives running smoothly during their journeys. Intriguingly, the photograph also highlights a coal wagon suspended mid-air as it is being lifted to discharge its contents into the plant. This detail adds depth to our understanding of how this intricate system operated seamlessly. Published in Railroads magazine alongside other full-page color illustrations by Micklewright in 1945, this artwork provides us with a window into transportation history and reminds us of the vital role that railways played in travel and trade. As we admire this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are transported back to an era where innovation and efficiency were key components driving progress on railroads across the world.
