EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of travel by steam train during the 1960s, as the Cornish Riviera Express, drawn by locomotive 7916, passes a signal box on its journey between London and Penzance. The Great Western Railway (GWR) steam engine, with its distinctive chimney and intricate engineering, exudes power and grace as it carries its passengers through the rural, picturesque landscape. The long, elegant carriages, filled with curious and excited travelers, stretch out behind the locomotive, their windows reflecting the passing scenery. The signal box, a symbol of the meticulous planning and organization required to keep the railway running smoothly, stands sentinel over the tracks, its green and red lights signaling the safe passage of the train. The Cornish Riviera Express, with its steam-powered might, whisks its passengers away on a journey of discovery, through the winding roads and rolling hills of the West Country, towards the Cornish Riviera and its stunning coastal vistas. This photograph is a captivating reminder of a bygone era, when travel by steam train was an adventure in itself, and the journey was just as important as the destination.
