EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of the Edwardian era, as a London & North Western Railway (LNWR) engine, named after the renowned English author Charles Dickens, stands proudly with its four-man crew in front. Built in 1882, engine number LNWR 955 was a passenger steam locomotive that covered an impressive two million miles over the course of twenty years on the London-Manchester service. The engine, an icon of the railway's rich history, is seen here in its prime, with its polished brass fittings gleaming in the sunlight and its large, powerful wheels at the ready. The men in their smart uniforms, each with their unique roles in the operation of the train, pose confidently for the camera. The scene is set against the backdrop of the bustling London railway scene, with other engines and carriages visible in the background, adding to the sense of industry and progress. The LNWR 955 was a testament to the engineering prowess of the time, and its longevity and reliability were a source of pride for the railway company and its passengers. The engine's legacy continues to inspire railway enthusiasts and historians, who appreciate the role it played in shaping the transport landscape of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This photograph is a rare and fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of steam rail travel during the Edwardian era.
