The majestic 4-6-2 class 7P locomotive, numbered 6229 but disguised as its sister engine 6220, Coronation Scot, is seen here near Warford Junction in approximately 1939. The image exudes an air of grandeur and sophistication as the gleaming locomotive cuts through the landscape with effortless grace. Its streamlined design hints at a time when speed and modernity were paramount in railway engineering. The Duchess of Hamilton stands tall against a backdrop of lush greenery, showcasing both her beauty and strength. This photograph offers a glimpse into an era when steam trains ruled supreme, transporting passengers across vast distances with style and efficiency.
