EDITORS COMMENTS
Steaming with pride and power, the iconic Canadian Pacific Railway issue steam-operated bell stands tall on the sleek wedge-shaped front of Gresley A4 pacific No. 4489 Dominion of Canada. This magnificent locomotive embarks on a historic journey from London Kings Cross to Edinburgh on June 22nd, 1938, leading the prestigious streamlined Coronation express it was specifically built for. With its striking air-smoothed design and nostalgic charm, this photograph captures a moment frozen in time. As Dominion of Canada gracefully departs from the bustling London Kings Cross station, it symbolizes an era when steam trains ruled the tracks and evokes a sense of awe-inspiring grandeur. After serving faithfully for many years, this remarkable locomotive retired in 1966 but found new life at the Canadian Railway Museum near Montreal. Preserved as a testament to its glorious past, Dominion of Canada remains an enduring symbol of engineering excellence and national heritage. This image takes us back to that fateful day in history when Dominon of Canada embarked on its epic journey through picturesque landscapes and charming stations. It invites us to immerse ourselves in the atmospheric allure of rail travel during the enchanting 1930s – a time when raw power met elegance on every track.
