EDITORS COMMENTS
This beautiful vintage photograph showcases the Savage CE 607 locomotive, affectionately named "Granny," built by Savages, Ltd. at their St. Nicholas Works in Kings Lynn, England in 1893. The CE 607 is a double-cylinder steam locomotive, a testament to the engineering prowess of the late 19th century. The image captures the essence of the steam era, with its intricate details, large driving wheels, and the billowing smoke stack. Despite being over 80 years old at the time of the photograph, taken in the 1970s, Granny continued to operate, a testament to the durability and reliability of Savages' engineering. The locomotive's name, "Granny," adds a personal touch, suggesting that it was a beloved and cherished part of the railway community. The Savage CE 607 is a rare survivor from an era when steam locomotives ruled the rails. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when steam power was the driving force behind transportation. It is a reminder of the rich history of railway engineering and the important role that companies like Savages, Ltd. played in shaping the transport landscape of the past and the present.
