EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the National Railway Museum takes us back to 1961, when British Railways (BR) sought to promote their regular cargo services from Hull and Goole in East Yorkshire to various continental ports. The poster, skillfully designed by Johnston, showcases a bustling scene at the docks where goods are being seamlessly transferred from a freight train onto a waiting cargo ship. The artwork beautifully captures the essence of this vital transportation link between Britain and Europe during that era. A towering dock crane gracefully hoists crates and barrels high into the air, symbolizing the efficiency and reliability of BR's cargo services. The vibrant colors used in the poster add an element of dynamism to the scene, evoking a sense of excitement for those considering utilizing these routes. As we gaze upon this image, we can almost hear the sounds of bustling activity at these busy ports. Rotterdam, Antwerp, Hamburg, Amsterdam, Dunkirk - all major European destinations eagerly awaiting their British imports. Copenhagen too is included among these coveted locations. This print serves as both a nostalgic reminder of Britain's rich railway history and an homage to the industrious spirit that fueled international trade in years gone by. It stands as a testament to BR's commitment towards providing efficient transport solutions for businesses across borders. Through this snapshot frozen in time, we are transported back over half a century ago when British Railways proudly connected Hull and Goole with Europe's most important trading hubs – forever etching its mark on our nation's maritime heritage
