EDITORS COMMENTS
. Step back in time to the early 20th century with this print from the STEAM Museum of the GWR. Transporting us to Exeter in 1906, it offers a mesmerizing view of the bustling running shed and yard that once housed an array of magnificent locomotives. The image captures a moment frozen in history, where steam billows gracefully from towering chimneys while workers diligently tend to these iron giants. The sheer size and power of these locomotives are awe-inspiring, serving as a testament to human ingenuity and engineering prowess. In this snapshot, we witness not only a physical space but also an embodiment of progress and innovation. Exeter's engine shed stands as a symbol of industrial growth during the turn-of-the-century era. It represents countless hours spent by skilled craftsmen who meticulously maintained these mechanical marvels for smooth operation on Britain's railway network. This photograph invites us to reflect upon our connection with transportation history—an era when railways were at their zenith—ushering in new possibilities for trade, travel, and cultural exchange across Great Britain. As we gaze upon this remarkable scene, let us appreciate the dedication and craftsmanship that went into creating such extraordinary machines. Immerse yourself in nostalgia as you explore this exquisite print—a window into an era long gone yet forever preserved within its frame.
