Fury In Glasgow
The newly-built locomotive 6399 Fury, of the London Midland and Scottish Railway, Glasgow, December 1929. The Fury was an experimental express passenger locomotive using a high pressure steam boiler system, which proved impractical and led to the locomotive being laid up until 1935. It was then rebuilt with a conventional boiler to become 6170 British Legion. (Photo by Puttnam/Topical Press Agency/Hulton Archive/Getty Images)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the powerful presence of Fury, the newly-built locomotive 6399 of the London Midland and Scottish Railway in Glasgow, December 1929. The experimental express passenger locomotive was equipped with a high pressure steam boiler system, which unfortunately proved to be impractical leading to its temporary retirement until 1935.
Despite facing setbacks, Fury was not forgotten as it underwent a transformation and emerged as the resilient 6170 British Legion after being rebuilt with a conventional boiler. This image showcases the ingenuity and adaptability of early railway engineering in finding solutions to challenges faced during that era.
The steam train stands proudly outdoors against a backdrop of industrial Glasgow, symbolizing progress and innovation in transportation technology. The intricate details of this historic locomotive are beautifully captured in this archival photograph by Puttnam from Fine Art Storehouse.
As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of the importance of perseverance and evolution in shaping our world today. Fury may have faced obstacles along its journey, but its legacy lives on through this striking image that continues to inspire generations with tales of triumph over adversity.
