This print captures the majestic presence of steam locomotive Neil Gow as it gracefully traverses the iconic Ais Gill Viaduct on the historic Settle and Carlisle line. The year is 1960, a time when British Railways service was at its peak, and this powerful A3 class 4-6-2 steam locomotive, numbered 60082, proudly pulls a passenger train across the viaduct. Photographer Eric Treacy skillfully frames this moment in history, showcasing both the grandeur of the locomotive and the architectural marvel that is Ais Gill Viaduct. The intricate details of Neil Gow's design are highlighted by wisps of steam billowing from its chimney, evoking a sense of nostalgia for an era long gone. The photograph transports us to a time when rail travel reigned supreme - an age where passengers embarked on exhilarating journeys through picturesque landscapes. As we gaze upon this remarkable image captured by Treacy's lens, we can almost hear the rhythmic chugging sound echoing through valleys while feeling a gentle breeze caress our faces. Preserved within National Railway Museum's vast collection, this print serves as a reminder of Britain's rich railway heritage. It encapsulates not only technical prowess but also human ingenuity that brought together engineering marvels like Neil Gow with awe-inspiring structures such as Ais Gill Viaduct. This piece invites us to appreciate both artistry behind photography and significance behind these historical relics that
