EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1933, capturing a remarkable moment in railway history. The focal point of the image is none other than the magnificent No 6340 locomotive, proudly hauling a special train filled with cars at Princes Risborough. This impressive steam engine, known as a Mogul locomotive, was built in 1921 and stands as a testament to the engineering prowess of its time. As we delve deeper into this snapshot from the past, our attention is drawn to an intriguing detail on the right side of the frame. Here we see a private owner wagon belonging to James Hargreaves and Sons, adding an extra layer of historical significance to this already fascinating scene. It serves as a reminder that behind every grand locomotive lies an intricate network of individuals and businesses contributing their unique contributions to keep things moving forward. Preserved within STEAM Museum of GWR (Great Western Railway), this print not only captures a specific moment but also encapsulates an era when railways were at their zenith. It transports us back in time, allowing us to marvel at both the power and elegance exuded by these mechanical giants. Whether you are an avid railway enthusiast or simply appreciate glimpses into our rich industrial heritage, this photograph offers much more than meets the eye. It invites us on a journey through time while reminding us of how far we have come since those early days when steam reigned supreme on Britain's tracks.
