Capturing the Last Breath of Steam - Dartmoor's Mighty Locomotive 34021
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this mesmerizing print by George Greenwell, we are transported back to the final days of steam locomotion. The image showcases a magnificent Bulleid Pacific train, affectionately known as Dartmoor, as it embarks on its journey from Salisbury in Wiltshire to Waterloo in London. It was one of the last steam journeys ever made. The sheer power and elegance of this West Country Class locomotive is evident, with its gleaming black exterior and billowing clouds of white steam emanating from its boiler. The coal-fired engine stands tall against the backdrop of a bustling railway platform filled with excited onlookers and crew members preparing for departure. As we delve into this snapshot frozen in time, our eyes are drawn to the determined driver at the helm. His weathered face reflects years spent navigating these iron giants across vast landscapes. Surrounding him are his dedicated crew members who ensure every cog turns smoothly throughout their arduous journey. This photograph not only captures an era but also preserves memories that have become part of our collective heritage. It serves as a poignant reminder that progress often comes at a cost – bidding farewell to beloved icons like Dartmoor forever changed the landscape of transportation. Greenwell's skillful composition transports us back to April 30th, 1967 – an unforgettable day when Dartmoor embarked on one final voyage before giving way to modernization.
