EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the year 1910, capturing the essence of Huntingdon engine shed. The view is looking northwest towards a magnificent 50ft turntable, with a sturdy shed standing proudly to the right. In the centre background, we catch a glimpse of the Great Northern & Great Eastern Joint Railway station masters house, exuding an air of authority and importance. To the left lies the bustling station itself, while beyond it stretches out a junction leading to the Great Northern Railway. The St Ives line can be seen branching off to the left, hinting at exciting destinations waiting to be explored. A charming east signal box stands tall nearby, overseeing all train movements with precision and care. One cannot help but marvel at this meticulously designed engine pit built on curved tracks - a true testament to engineering ingenuity. This remarkable photograph transports us into an era when steam locomotives ruled supreme and trains were lifelines connecting communities far and wide. It serves as a reminder of our rich railway heritage and ignites our imagination about what life was like during those times. Displayed proudly at Imagination Works within National Railway Museum's vast collection, this print captures not just history but also evokes emotions associated with nostalgia for simpler times filled with awe-inspiring locomotives chugging along tracks lined with wagons full of goods ready for transport across great distances.
