In this print from 1937, we witness the majestic Coronation A4 Class steam locomotive gracefully crossing the iconic Royal Border Bridge at Berwick-upon-Tweed. This magnificent structure, opened by Queen Victoria in 1850, serves as a fitting backdrop for this historic moment. Leading the charge is Dominion of Canada No 4489, proudly hauling the Coronation across the bridge. Notably, this engine was bestowed with a Canadian railway type bell by the esteemed Canadian Pacific Railway in 1938.

The train itself showcases its summer formation consisting of four articulated pairs of coaches and an observation car. Each carriage exudes timeless charm and sophistication as they trail behind their powerful steed.
