EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1911 takes us back in time to the Ely Dock Junction, as seen from the front of the Dock Junction signal box. The image showcases a bustling railway scene with intricate details that transport us into a world filled with steam locomotives and vintage trains. In the foreground, we are presented with the main line leading south to Cambridge, its tracks stretching out towards distant horizons. On the extreme right, we catch a glimpse of the headshunt that connects to Ely station yard, where countless journeys would have begun or ended. To our left, an intriguing sight awaits as a single branch line diverges towards Fordham and Newmarket. This lesser-known route sparks curiosity about the destinations it served and the stories it holds within its tracks. Imagination works wonders when exploring this historical gem captured by talented photographers at National Railway Museum. It allows us to envision how life must have been during those times when locomotives were kings of transportation. As we admire this remarkable piece of history preserved through sepia tones and meticulous detailing, let's appreciate not only its aesthetic value but also recognize its significance in shaping our modern-day railways.
