EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1895, capturing a significant moment in the history of railway infrastructure. The image showcases a section of tunnel from the Bettws-y-coed and Ffestiniog extension, an ambitious project undertaken by Network Rail's predecessors. The photograph transports us to a time when steam locomotives ruled the tracks, their billowing smoke adding an air of mystique to this underground passage. The tunnel itself is a testament to human ingenuity and engineering prowess, as it seamlessly blends into its natural surroundings. As we gaze at this snapshot frozen in time, we can't help but marvel at the dedication and hard work that went into constructing such monumental structures over a century ago. This particular section of tunnel stands as both an architectural triumph and a symbol of progress for rail transport. Beyond its historical significance, this print also invites us to appreciate the beauty inherent in these man-made creations. Light filters through small openings along the tunnel walls, casting ethereal shadows on rough-hewn bricks. It serves as a reminder that even within functional spaces like tunnels, there exists artistry waiting to be discovered. Whether you are an avid railway enthusiast or simply captivated by glimpses into our past, this print offers a window into an era where innovation met nature head-on – leaving behind enduring legacies that continue to shape our present-day railways.
