Preserving History - King George V Finds a New Home at Swindon Railway Museum
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, we witness a momentous occasion in the history of the Great Western Railway (GWR). It is March 1992, and King George V, one of GWR's iconic locomotives, stands proudly outside the old Swindon Railway Museum. The anticipation is palpable as the majestic steam engine rests on a low loader, patiently awaiting its delivery to its new home. This photograph captures not only the physical presence of King George V but also symbolizes an unwavering commitment to preserving our rich railway heritage. The STEAM Museum of the GWR has taken up this noble task with utmost dedication. As visitors gaze upon this image, they are transported back in time to an era when steam engines ruled the tracks. King George V was no ordinary locomotive; it was part of GWR's illustrious 6000 class and played a significant role in shaping Britain's railway history. Its arrival at Swindon Railway Museum signifies yet another triumph for preservationists who strive tirelessly to safeguard these remarkable relics from oblivion. The sight of King George V perched atop that low loader serves as a reminder that our past should never be forgotten or discarded. Thanks to institutions like STEAM Museum of the GWR, future generations will have access to firsthand experiences and knowledge about our nation's extraordinary railway legacy.
