EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases County Class locomotive no. 1013, County of Dorset, proudly displayed at the Steam Museum of the Great Western Railway. Built in 1946, this 4-6-0 locomotive is a testament to the rich railway heritage of the past. The County Class, also known as the "County" or "Large Prairie" type, was designed for the Great Western Railway (GWR) to replace the older 4-6-0 locomotives. The County of Dorset, numbered 1013, is a particularly noteworthy engine due to its distinctive double chimney. This modification was made to improve the locomotive's draft and enhance its performance. The double chimney, with its impressive height and width, not only added to the engine's striking appearance but also played a significant role in its efficiency. The County Class locomotives were known for their versatility and power, capable of hauling heavy loads and long passenger trains. They served the GWR well, contributing to the railway network's growth and expansion during the post-war era. This photograph, taken in 1959, captures the County of Dorset in its prime, embodying the spirit of the steam age and the romance of the railway. The engine's gleaming metalwork, the intricate details of its design, and the billowing steam all combine to create an evocative image that transports us back in time. Today, the County of Dorset, along with many other historic locomotives, resides at the Steam Museum of the Great Western Railway. Here, it is preserved for future generations to marvel at the ingenuity and craftsmanship of the past. This photograph is not just a record of a bygone era but a reminder of the enduring allure and fascination that steam locomotives continue to hold for us all.
