EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the golden era of British Railways, specifically to the year 1951. Here we witness a magnificent Hall Class 4-6-0 steam locomotive in all its glory as it traverses a picturesque viaduct near Liskeard. This particular locomotive is hauling the prestigious Cornish Riviera Express from Penzance, making its way towards London's Paddington station. The Hall Class locomotives were originally designed and built for the Great Western Railway during the 1930s, known for their exceptional power and reliability. As this photograph beautifully captures, these majestic machines commanded attention wherever they went. The scene depicted here is reminiscent of an enchanting moment captured in a British Transport Films production called "Train Time". The film aimed to showcase not only the efficiency and grandeur of Britain's railway system but also highlight the seamless connection between different regions across the country. This stunning image serves as a testament to both engineering prowess and natural beauty. It transports us back in time, allowing us to marvel at an iconic piece of transportation history while appreciating the breathtaking landscapes that served as a backdrop for these remarkable feats of engineering.
