EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the year 1911, capturing a picturesque scene at Saffron Walden Station. The view is from a signal post, looking west towards South Road. In the foreground, we can see a coaling stage on the left side of the frame, adding an industrial touch to the otherwise serene landscape. The image showcases various elements that were crucial for operating steam locomotives during that era. A water column stands tall next to the coaling stage, providing essential hydration for these magnificent engines. Adjacent to it is a single road engine shed leading to a 40 turntable where locomotives could be maneuvered efficiently. Imagination works its magic as we gaze upon this snapshot from history. It transports us into an era when trains were not just modes of transport but symbols of progress and adventure. The sepia-toned photograph evokes nostalgia and reminds us of how far railway technology has come since then. Preserved by the National Railway Museum (NRM), this remarkable piece captures both the beauty and functionality of early railways. As we admire this image, let's appreciate not only its historical significance but also acknowledge those who worked tirelessly behind-the-scenes to keep our transportation systems running smoothly – engineers, station staff, and train drivers alike
