EDITORS COMMENTS
British Rail driver Ken Hedley from Blyth, on 23rd April 1973, finds solace in the rhythmic chugging of steam locomotives as he escapes to the enchanting North Yorkshire Railway at Grosmont every weekend. In this print captured by NCJ, we witness a moment frozen in time. Standing proudly on the platform amidst a small group of people, Ken exudes an air of expertise and passion for his craft. His weathered face tells tales of countless journeys undertaken and challenges conquered. As a dedicated engineer and driver for British Rail during weekdays, Ken's love affair with trains knows no bounds. The mixed age range surrounding him reflects the universal appeal that railways hold - young children eagerly peering out from their parents' arms while older enthusiasts exchange animated conversations about engines long gone. The station buzzes with anticipation as carriages await their passengers for yet another adventure through picturesque landscapes. This snapshot transports us back to the vibrant 1970s era when steam locomotives still reigned supreme. The billowing clouds of smoke intertwine with nostalgia, evoking memories of simpler times and slower-paced journeys. Ken's unwavering dedication to public transport is evident in his commitment to both diesel trains during weekdays and these majestic steam engines on weekends. This print serves as a testament to his unwavering passion for preserving our rich railway heritage.
