EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait of Sir Samuel (Sam) Fay, painted by Lieut. Percival Anderson in 1918, showcases the dynamic and influential figure who played a pivotal role in the transportation sector during a time of great upheaval - the First World War. Sir Sam Fay (1856-1953) began his career in the railways, first as General Manager of the Midland and South Western Junction Railways and later, in 1902, taking the helm of the Grand Central Railway. His tenure with the latter also included the development of Immingham Dock, a significant contribution to the transportation network. A pioneer in rail publicity, Fay was also the editor of several rail magazines. When the war broke out, he lent his expertise to the War Office, serving as Director of Movements from January 1917 to March 1918, then becoming Director-General of Movements and Railways, and a member of the Army Council with the rank of General. His firsthand account of his wartime career can be found in his book, "The War Office at War," published in 1937. After the war, Fay returned to the Great Central Railway, remaining its General Manager until it became part of the London and North Eastern Railway on 1 January 1923. This image captures the spirit and determination of a man who dedicated his life to the development and management of the railways, both at home and on the front lines.
