EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the power and grace of Locomotive No. 690, a 0-6-0 steam engine, as it chugs along the Eastern Railway lines in the heart of England. The engine, with its distinctive chimney and large driving wheels, exudes an air of bygone era, transporting us back in time to the golden age of rail travel. The 690 was built in 1897 by the South Eastern and Chatham Railway (SECR) at their Ashford Works in Kent. It was part of a fleet of locomotives that played a crucial role in the transportation of goods and passengers across the region. The locomotive's sturdy frame and powerful engine made it an ideal workhorse for the demanding terrain and heavy loads of the railway network. The photograph captures the locomotive in its natural habitat, surrounded by the lush greenery of the English countryside. The steam billowing from the chimney creates a mystical atmosphere, while the tracks stretching out into the distance hint at the vast network of railways that once crisscrossed the country. The 690 was retired from service in the late 1960s, as the era of steam gave way to more modern forms of transportation. Today, it is preserved in a museum, where it continues to inspire awe and fascination in visitors young and old. This photograph is a testament to the enduring allure of steam locomotives and the important role they played in shaping the transportation landscape of the past.
