EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of a bygone era, as the fireman of the Talyllyn Narrow Gauge Railway's steam locomotive No. 7, Tom Rolt, blows the whistle during its inaugural run in 1991. Nestled in the picturesque landscape of North Wales, the Talyllyn Railway is the oldest preserved railway in the world, having opened in 1865. The locomotive, named after the famous author and railway preservationist Tom Rolt, who played a significant role in saving the line from closure in the 1950s, is seen here leaving the sheds, ready to embark on its journey. The bridge in the background, adorned with lush greenery, adds to the idyllic setting. The fireman's powerful whistle blow echoes through the valley, signaling the start of another magical journey aboard this historic steam train. This photograph, taken by acclaimed photographer Philip Dunn, transports us back in time, allowing us to experience the thrill and romance of steam rail travel.
