EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures Locomotive No. 213, a 4-6-0 type engine, built in Glasgow around 1905 for the Glasgow, South Western Railway (GIP) for the tour of His Royal Highness the Prince and Princess of Wales. The engine was one of the new 6-coupled passenger express locomotives, featuring an electric headlight and decorated with the symbols of the British Empire. The trophy in front of the engine represents the unity and power of the British Empire, with the flags of Great Britain, Canada, South Africa, Australia, and India proudly displayed. The diagram of the engine, sent with the photograph, showcases the intricate details and advanced engineering of this magnificent machine. The Indian Peninsula Railway and other railways under the British rule would have benefited from such advanced technology during this period. This photograph is a testament to the engineering prowess of the time and the grandeur of royal tours, offering a glimpse into the history of railway transportation during the early 20th century.
