EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in this stunning print from 1960, we witness the majestic Evening Star 2-10-0 Class 9F steam locomotive No. 92220 in all its glory. This iconic locomotive holds a significant place in British Railways history as it was the last of its kind to be built. Designed by the brilliant R A Riddles and constructed at Swindon, this powerful machine symbolizes the end of an era. In this particular image, we see Evening Star proudly leading a special train along the picturesque York-Scarborough line. The locomotive's impressive size and intricate details are beautifully highlighted against the backdrop of lush greenery and rolling hills. With its billowing smoke and rhythmic chugging sound, Evening Star evokes a sense of nostalgia for those who remember witnessing these magnificent machines dominate railway tracks across Britain. It serves as a reminder of an era when steam power ruled transportation. Sadly, like many other steam locomotives, Evening Star's time on active duty came to an end in 1965 when it was withdrawn from service. However, through photographs such as this one preserved by the National Railway Museum, we can still appreciate its grandeur and pay homage to its contribution to British rail history.
