EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the golden age of steam locomotives. The image showcases the iconic Gresley A4 Pacific No. 60022 Mallard, known as the "Dream Liner - Streamliner" preparing for its journey at York Station in 1952. The driver of this magnificent machine can be seen meticulously fixing flags and adjusting the headboard of The 1952 Dreamliner before departure to Doncaster's Railway Works. This event marked a significant milestone as it celebrated the plant's 99th anniversary. As we delve deeper into the picture, our attention is drawn towards an intriguing detail: the station master donning a top hat, adhering to tradition. However, what truly piques our curiosity is whether this photograph captures one of Britain's first sightings of a US baseball cap. Passengers eagerly gather on the platform at York Station, brimming with excitement as they prepare to board The Dreamliner steam train bound for Doncaster. Children gaze wide-eyed at this marvel of engineering that represents progress and adventure in their world. This evocative snapshot from Daily Mirror's Memory Lane Prints collection encapsulates not only a moment frozen in time but also embodies nostalgia for an era when steam trains reigned supreme, transporting dreams and aspirations along their iron tracks.
