EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this print from the STEAM Museum of the GWR. Transporting us to Didcot Station on a sunny day in late Victorian England, we are greeted by a mesmerizing sight. The date is May 11th, 1896, and our eyes are drawn to the magnificent up Flying Dutchman locomotive gracefully making its way along the tracks. Standing tall and proud, No. 3001 Amazon takes center stage as it effortlessly hauls the prestigious train. Its powerful presence commands attention against the backdrop of bustling activity at Didcot Station. Passengers eagerly await their journeys while porters scurry about attending to their duties. The charm of this photograph lies not only in its historical significance but also in its ability to transport us back over a century ago. It captures an era when steam trains were at their peak, symbolizing progress and innovation during that time. As we admire this snapshot from yesteryear, let us appreciate how far we have come since then while cherishing the nostalgia for simpler times. This remarkable image serves as a reminder of our rich railway heritage and invites us to delve into history's embrace once more.
