EDITORS COMMENTS
"This photograph showcases The Mallard, a historic locomotive that etched its name in the annals of railway history on December 3, 1938. The Mallard, an LNER (London and North Eastern Railway) Class A4 4-6-2 Pacific steam locomotive, achieved an astounding speed of 125 miles per hour on a straight stretch of track between Grantham and Peterborough. This remarkable feat was a significant milestone, as it set a new world record for the highest speed ever attained by a steam engine. The Mallard's record-breaking run took place on the 7th of December, 1938, and its importance in the world of transportation cannot be overstated. The locomotive, imported from the UK, was designed by Nigel Gresley, and its sleek, aerodynamic shape was a testament to the engineering prowess of the time. The Mallard's record stood for over 30 years, until it was surpassed by the Japanese steam locomotive, "Yamato," in 1963. This photograph, taken on the historic day, captures the essence of a bygone era, transporting us back to a time when the thrill of the open road and the power of steam ruled the rails. The Mallard's legacy continues to inspire railway enthusiasts and history buffs alike, as it stands as a symbol of human ingenuity and the relentless pursuit of progress."
