EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a remarkable moment in railway history. Taken in London during the 1930s, it showcases a powerful "Pacific" steam engine picking up an astonishing 2,500 gallons of water in just ten seconds. The image is extracted from "The Wonder Book of Railways" edited by Harry Golding and published by Ward, Lock & Co. Limited. In this snapshot, the majestic 4-6-2 locomotive stands proudly on the railway tracks while its crew members attend to the water trough nearby. The scene is bustling with activity as background figures go about their day amidst this impressive display of steam power. The photograph not only highlights the technological advancements of that era but also provides a glimpse into British transportation history. As part of the London and North Eastern Railway (LNER), this passenger express train was instrumental in connecting people across Britain. With its monochrome aesthetic, this image exudes a timeless charm that transports us back to an era when steam trains were at their peak. It serves as a reminder of how railways played a vital role in shaping society and revolutionizing travel during the early 20th century. As we admire this extraordinary piece captured by an unknown photographer, we are reminded once again of our rich heritage and how these iconic images continue to captivate us even today.
