This print captures the iconic Royal Scot train in all its majestic glory. Taken by renowned photographer Eric Treacy in 1956, the image showcases the powerful Coronation class 4-6-2 locomotive number 46221 Queen Elizabeth as it pulls into Carlisle, Cumbria. The Royal Scot train holds a rich history, having operated since 1862. Each day at precisely 10 a. m. , it embarked on its remarkable journey from Euston station in London to Glasgow, covering an impressive distance of 400 miles. This particular snapshot highlights some of the breathtaking landscapes encountered along the way. As passengers boarded this legendary locomotive, they were treated to a diverse and scenic expedition through enchanting regions such as Warwickshire and the Cotswolds. The route also traversed Morecambe Bay before venturing into the picturesque hills of Yorkshire and Cumbria. Treacy's expertly composed photograph not only immortalizes this cherished mode of transportation but also transports viewers back to an era when steam trains reigned supreme. The intricate details captured within each carriage and every puff of smoke evoke a sense of nostalgia for railway enthusiasts and history buffs alike. Displayed proudly at the National Railway Museum, this exceptional print serves as a testament to both Treacy's artistic talent and Britain's enduring love affair with rail travel.
