Step back in time and explore the rich history of the Caledonian Railway. From its iconic Glasgow Central Station, which stood proudly in Glasgow since 1879, to its earlier incarnation in 1935, this railway has been a vital part of Scotland's transportation network. One notable creation was the Express Passenger Locomotive No 903, masterfully designed by Mr John F McIntosh. This magnificent locomotive showcased his engineering prowess and became a symbol of power and speed. Accompanying this impressive locomotive was the Composite Corridor Carriage No 217. With its elegant design and luxurious interior, it provided passengers with comfort during their journeys across Scotland. The Caledonian Railway extended beyond Scottish borders as well. Captivating lithographs depicted vibrant destinations like Blackpool, enticing travelers to embark on exciting adventures beyond their homeland. Even Vanity Fair recognized the significance of this railway when they featured Mr James Thompson from the Caledonian Railway in one of their colorful cartoons dated August 15th, 1895. Moving away from illustrations to engravings, an index plan showcased Edinburgh's General View while another engraving captured Mr Gladstone's arrival at Princes Street Station on his way to address constituents at Albert Hall - a testament to how important this railway was for political figures too. However, not all moments were celebratory; there were challenges along the way. An engraving depicted a goods-train engulfed in flames after colliding with an express mail-train on the Caledonian Railway - a stark reminder of the dangers faced by those working on these tracks. Innovation continued as other railways introduced new corridor dining-trains between England and Scotland. The London and North-Western Railway proudly presented these modern marvels through lithographs that highlighted convenience and luxury for travelers. Throughout its existence, The Caledonian Railway remained steadfast as an integral part of Scotland's infrastructure. Its legacy lives on, as seen in the enduring beauty of Angus DD9 7 Map.
