EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Dublin and Blessington Steam Tram (D&BST Co) making its way through the picturesque Irish countryside, built in the year 1887. The image, taken in County Wicklow, transports us back in time to an era of steam-powered transportation. The steam tram, with its large, puffing engine and intricately designed body, stands out against the lush green landscape, dotted with trees and rolling hills. The passengers inside, dressed in turn-of-the-century attire, appear to be fully immersed in the journey, their expressions filled with a sense of wonder and excitement. The D&BST Co. was established in 1884 to provide a steam-powered transportation link between Dublin and the popular tourist destination of Blessington, located in County Wicklow. The line opened in 1887 and operated until 1935, providing an essential connection between the city and the countryside. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the ingenuity and innovation of the time, as well as the natural beauty of Ireland. The steam tram's journey through the Irish countryside was not just a means of transportation but an adventure, an experience that connected people to their surroundings and brought them closer to nature. This photograph serves as a reminder of the rich history of transportation in Ireland and the role that steam-powered vehicles played in shaping the country's landscape and culture.
