EDITORS COMMENTS
No. 4015 Knight of St John, a majestic 4-6-0 Star Class locomotive, proudly takes center stage in this photograph from the Steam Museum of the Great Western Railway (GWR). Built in 1908, this historic steam engine is a testament to the ingenuity and industrial prowess of the early 20th century. The Star Class locomotives, designed by George Jackson Churchward, were a significant advancement in railway engineering, characterized by their large boilers and powerful cylinders. No. 4015, named after the Knights Hospitaller of St. John of Jerusalem, was one of the most powerful locomotives in the GWR fleet during its time. This photograph captures the essence of the steam era, with the Knight of St John's gleaming brass fittings, polished steel surfaces, and the billowing clouds of steam that signify the raw power and energy of the machine. The engine's intricate details, from the delicate etchings on its side to the meticulously crafted wheels, are a feast for the eyes. As the locomotive sits quietly in the museum, it tells a story of a bygone era when steam-powered trains ruled the rails. It serves as a reminder of the romance and adventure that once came with traveling by train, as well as the important role that steam engines played in shaping the modern world. The Steam Museum of the GWR is a treasure trove of railway history, and No. 4015 Knight of St John is just one of its many priceless gems. This photograph is not only a beautiful work of art but also a window into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of steam trains and the rich history they represent.
