Capturing the Joy of a Bygone Era - Jim Harper, Stationmaster for a Day on Tanfield Railway
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this nostalgic print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to the 1980s when Jim Harper took on the role of stationmaster for a day at Tanfield Railway. The image captures the essence of an all-day service that commenced from a brand-new station in Sunniside, Gateshead on July 14th, 1982. Jim Harper stands proudly on the platform, donning his crisp uniform and holding a whistle in hand. With his infectious smile and gleaming eyes, it is evident that he thoroughly enjoyed his temporary position as stationmaster. Behind him stand two other individuals – one an engineer with tools in hand and another person acting as guard – both equally enthusiastic about their roles in ensuring smooth operations. The steam engine billows smoke into the air while waiting patiently to embark upon its journey. Mixed-age passengers eagerly await their transport, adding to the vibrant atmosphere surrounding this bustling railway hub. Flags flutter gently overhead, symbolizing celebration and excitement. This photograph encapsulates not only public transportation but also serves as a testament to community spirit and shared experiences during simpler times. It reminds us of an era where railways were more than just means of travel; they were places where friendships were forged and memories made. As we gaze upon this scene frozen in time by NCJ's lens, we can't help but feel grateful for these glimpses into our past
