Carriages Leaving Lner Loco Marylebone Platform Signals Tracks
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of departure for LNER 123, a steam-powered locomotive, from Marylebone Station in London. The year is uncertain, but the scene is one of a bygone era in railway history. The engine, adorned with intricate details and the distinctive green livery of the London and North Eastern Railway (LNER), sits proudly at the head of a long train of passenger carriages, each one filled with eager travelers ready to embark on their journeys north. The platform at Marylebone Station is bustling with activity, as porters scurry about, loading luggage onto the train and assisting passengers. The great central signals stand tall, their arms raised in the position of readiness, giving the green light for the engine to pull away from the platform. The steam engine belches out plumes of white smoke, filling the air with the distinct and nostalgic scent of coal and iron. The tracks stretch out before the engine, disappearing into the distance, inviting the train to continue its journey. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of rail transport in Britain, and specifically in London. The LNER 123 engine was one of many that played a crucial role in connecting the capital city with the northern and eastern regions of the country. Today, this image serves as a reminder of the romance and adventure that once came with train travel, and the important role that steam engines played in shaping the transportation landscape of the 20th century.
