EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the National Railway Museum takes us back to a momentous day in British railway history. On the 30th of May, 1966, we witness the majestic presence of BR steam locomotive No. 45647, captured through the lens of T. Linfoot's slide. The image exudes an air of nostalgia as we are transported to a time when steam locomotives were at their zenith. Standing tall and proud against a backdrop of billowing smoke and rolling hills, this magnificent machine showcases the epitome of engineering excellence. No. 45647 is resplendent in its British Rail livery, with every detail meticulously preserved for posterity. The craftsmanship and attention to detail are evident in every aspect: from its gleaming brass fittings to its perfectly polished wheels. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, one can almost hear the rhythmic chugging sound that reverberated across the countryside as it made its way along tracks that have long since been replaced by modern technology. This photograph serves as a reminder of our rich railway heritage and pays homage to those who dedicated their lives to keeping these iron giants running smoothly. It invites us on a journey into yesteryears when steam ruled supreme and evokes feelings of awe and admiration for both man and machine alike. Preserved within this print lies not just an image but also countless stories waiting to be told - tales that transport us back in time while igniting our imagination about what once was
