1. Title: "A Blast from the Past: The Dawlish Broad Gauge Railway in Devon" 2. Caption: This vintage photograph, hailing from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back in time to the early days of the Dawlish Broad Gauge Railway in Devon. The image, captured on a lantern slide, showcases a powerful steam engine proudly displaying its intricate details and ornate decorations, as it gracefully navigates a curve in the picturesque Devon countryside. The broad gauge railway, which opened in 1851, was a significant engineering feat of its time, connecting the South Devon coast with the rest of the national railway network. This photograph, taken likely in the late 19th or early 20th century, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the railway's impressive infrastructure and the steam engines that powered it. The lush greenery and undulating terrain of the Devon landscape are evident in the background, as the train winds its way through the landscape, leaving a trail of steam in its wake. The photograph's composition, with the engine dominating the frame and the verdant countryside providing a breathtaking backdrop, highlights the harmony between man-made engineering marvels and the natural beauty of the environment. This image serves as a poignant reminder of the romance and allure of the railway era, a time when travel was an adventure and the world seemed a little smaller. The Dawlish Broad Gauge Railway in Devon, with its rich history and stunning scenery, continues to captivate and inspire us, making this photograph a must-have for any railway or history enthusiast.
