This print from the STEAM Museum of the GWR transports us back to August 1951, capturing a remarkable moment in railway history. The image showcases the majestic King Class No 6025, affectionately known as King Henry III, as it powers through Wellington, Somerset. Despite the original picture's poor quality, its significance and charm remain undiminished. The Cornish Riviera Express is seen here in all its glory, gracefully gliding along the tracks with an air of elegance and power. This iconic train service was renowned for whisking passengers away on a breathtaking journey from London Paddington to Penzance, traversing some of England's most picturesque landscapes. King Henry III stands tall and proud amidst this scenic backdrop; its gleaming black exterior contrasting beautifully against lush green fields and rolling hills. As one of only thirty Kings ever built by Great Western Railway (GWR), this locomotive symbolizes both engineering excellence and British heritage. This print serves as a poignant reminder of an era when steam trains reigned supreme and travel was imbued with a sense of adventure. It invites us to imagine ourselves aboard this legendary express train, experiencing firsthand the thrill and romance that once accompanied rail travel. Preserved within the walls of STEAM Museum, this snapshot offers a glimpse into our rich transportation past while inspiring future generations to appreciate the marvels that shaped our world.
