EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases Fowler Showman's Road Locomotive number 14862, affectionately named "Evening Star," as it proudly stands at York on May 16, 1971. Registration number DW 2235 adorns the side of this vintage steam engine, a testament to its unique history. The Fowler Showman's Road Locomotive was a popular choice for traveling fairgrounds and shows during the 1900s and 1970s. The 1970s, with its nostalgic charm and appreciation for all things retro, saw a resurgence in the popularity of these steam engines. The "Evening Star" is a stunning example of this era, its black body gleaming in the sunlight and its intricate details, such as the brass fittings and ornate wheels, on full display. The steam engine's large chimney billows out plumes of white smoke, adding to the romantic allure of this bygone era. The photograph captures a moment in time, a snapshot of history, as the "Evening Star" takes a brief respite from its travels. The setting of York, with its historic architecture and picturesque surroundings, provides the perfect backdrop for this magnificent machine. This image, from The William Kerry Collection, is a reminder of the transport and transportation innovations of the past and the enduring appeal of steam engines.
