EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1953, showcases the majestic Steam Railway locomotive 2900 Class 4-6-0 St David 2920, also known as "Saint" 2900. The locomotive, adorned with the Welsh patron saint, St. David, proudly displays the number 2920 on its side. The 4-6-0 St. David class engines were designed for express passenger and mixed traffic services, and this particular locomotive was one of the 15 built between 1927 and 1931. The image transports us back to the 1950s, an era of romance and nostalgia, as the steam engine belches out plumes of smoke, signaling its readiness to embark on another journey. The locomotive is surrounded by a collection of elegant carriages, their windows reflecting the vibrant colors of the landscape and the clear blue sky above. The rural setting, with its lush greenery and picturesque scenery, adds to the idyllic charm of the scene. The 1950s was a time when steam trains ruled the rails, and this photograph captures the essence of that era. The locomotive, with its powerful presence and the carriages following closely behind, evoke a sense of adventure and excitement. As we gaze at this image, we can almost hear the rhythmic chugging of the engine and feel the gentle sway of the carriages as they move along the tracks, taking us on a journey through time.
