EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing photograph captures the contrast between the old and new forms of transportation in Accrington, Lancashire, in 1907. The top image showcases the older steam tramcar, affectionately known as the Baltic Fleet, which made its debut on Accrington's tramways in 1886. With its large, puffing engine and single deck, this tramcar represented the innovation of its time. Below the Baltic Fleet, the modern electric tramcar, named the Flying Squadron, can be seen. This sleek, double-decker vehicle marked a significant shift in transportation technology. The Flying Squadron, with its streamlined design and advanced electric power, symbolized the future of urban travel. The tramlines that connect the two vehicles serve as a testament to the progress made in just over two decades. The older steam tramcar, with its coal-fired engine and labor-intensive operation, was gradually being replaced by the more efficient and eco-friendly electric tramcar. The Flying Squadron represented a new era of transportation, offering a smoother, quieter, and more comfortable ride for passengers. This photograph, taken in October 1907, encapsulates the spirit of innovation and progress that characterized the early 20th century. As Accrington continued to modernize, its tramways became a symbol of the town's forward-thinking attitude and commitment to improving the lives of its residents. The Baltic Fleet and the Flying Squadron stand as a reminder of the past and the future, showcasing the remarkable transformation that occurred in just a few short decades.
