EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the majestic Perth, Caledonian "Greyback" LMS 14649 steam locomotive as it sits proudly in its shed during the early 1930s. The image transports us back in time to an era of old-fashioned transport and steam-powered wonders. The Perth Caledonian "Greyback" LMS 14649 was a Class 5MT 2-6-2 tank locomotive, built by the London, Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS) in 1932. The "Greyback" name was given to this class due to the distinctive grey coloring of the engines. In the photograph, the locomotive is seen nestled among other engines in the dimly lit shed, with a solitary platform and railway tracks stretching into the distance. The steam engine's powerful presence is palpable, as it exudes an aura of raw power and determination. The intricate details of the engine's design are on full display, from the large chimney stack to the intricately patterned boiler and the gleaming metal wheels. The scene is a testament to the rich history of railway transportation, where steam engines were the backbone of the rail network. The photograph captures the essence of a bygone era, where the sights, sounds, and smells of steam trains were a common part of everyday life. Today, this image serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving our transport history and the role that steam engines played in shaping the world we live in.
