EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print, dated 1885, showcases a collection of steam locomotives from the Great Eastern, South Eastern, and London Tilbury & Southend Railways, which operated in England between 1870 and 1884. Each engine is illustrated in meticulous detail, providing a glimpse into the engineering marvels of the time. The first locomotive, the "Great Eastern," is a 2-4-0 design with outside cylinders, measuring 38 feet 6 inches in length and 6 feet 1 inch in width. Its boiler pressure was an impressive 150 psi, and it could reach speeds of up to 35 miles per hour. The "South Eastern" locomotive, a 2-4-2T design, boasts a length of 32 feet 6 inches and a width of 6 feet 4 inches. Its boiler pressure was 150 psi, and it could attain speeds of up to 30 miles per hour. The "London Tilbury & Southend" locomotive, a 2-4-0 design, is 37 feet 6 inches long and 6 feet 1 inch wide. Its boiler pressure was 150 psi, and it could reach speeds of up to 40 miles per hour. The photograph also includes scenes of the locomotives in action, such as the Stoney Creek Viaduct, which showcases the impressive engineering feats of the railway system during this era. The locomotives are depicted in various stages of motion, highlighting their power and agility. This photograph is a testament to the evolution of early steam locomotives and the impact they had on transportation during the late 19th century. The intricate details and measurements provided offer a unique perspective into the inner workings of these engineering wonders. Theodore West, a skilled photographer, captured these images, providing us with a valuable record of this important period in railway history.
