EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the year 1911, capturing a bustling scene at Colchester's south end of the station. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot, our eyes are drawn to the main lines in the foreground, stretching out towards London with an air of anticipation. Intriguingly, tucked away at the bottom left corner of the frame is a line leading into bay platforms. It serves as a reminder that even amidst all the hustle and bustle, there were quieter corners where trains patiently awaited their next journey. Our attention then shifts to the goods yard, where trainships shed stands tall against its surroundings. This structure served as both a reception area and storage space for various commodities transported by rail. Behind it lies an intricate network of reception and storage sidings - a testament to Colchester's importance as a transportation hub during this era. As we explore further within this image, we notice an eclectic mix of rolling stock scattered throughout. Among them are horse boxes used for transporting equine passengers, carriage trucks designed for carrying additional passenger carriages when needed, and even a milk van - showcasing how railways played an essential role in delivering perishable goods across vast distances. Preserved by imagination works at National Railway Museum (NRM), this remarkable photograph offers us glimpses into early 20th-century railway operations. It invites us to reflect on how far transportation has come while appreciating the rich history that paved its way forward.
