EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the bustling Kings Cross yard of the Great Northern Railway on a foggy day, captured forever in this vintage print from May 31,1908. As we gaze upon the scene, our imagination works overtime to envision the sights and sounds that once filled this historic location. Looking south towards the main terminus, we can see a magnificent bridge spanning across the tracks. However, little do we know that its days are numbered as it will be removed just six years later in 1914. The presence of this bridge adds an air of grandeur and majesty to an already impressive man-made structure. The platform is abuzz with activity as passengers eagerly await their trains. The canopy overhead provides shelter from both rain and shine, offering a glimpse into how railway travel was designed for comfort even over a century ago. A lone signal stands tall amidst the foggy atmosphere, guiding trains safely along their designated tracks. This simple yet vital piece of equipment played a crucial role in ensuring smooth operations within this busy station. Transportation history comes alive through this image – reminding us of how rail travel shaped societies and connected people across vast distances. Today preserved at the National Railway Museum (NRM), this photograph serves as a window into an era long gone but not forgotten.
