EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the remarkable journey of Farmer Baird and his farm as they make a monumental shift from Auchinleck, Ayrshire to Andover by rail. The image takes us back to May 1949 when this extraordinary feat was accomplished. Twelve hours after departing Auchinleck, the train made an unexpected stop at Kentish Town.
