EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases Locomotive No. 165, a 4-6-2 Tank Engine, in its prime on the rails of a bustling railway station. The Great Central Railway (GCR) locomotive, a testament to the golden age of steam transportation, is seen here with its large, powerful wheels and intricate engineering details on full display. The engine's distinctive design, featuring a compact water tank and coal bunker mounted atop the engine itself, allowed for increased maneuverability and efficiency on the railway lines. The locomotive's shiny metal surface gleams under the bright sunlight, contrasting beautifully with the dark, textured background of the railway station. Smoke billows from its stack, adding an element of raw power and energy to the scene. The steam train era was a time of innovation and progress, and this image encapsulates the essence of that period in transportation history. The 4-6-2 Tank Engine, also known as a 'Pacific' type locomotive, was a popular design during the early 20th century. Its versatility and efficiency made it a favorite among railway companies, including the Great Central Railway. This particular engine, No. 165, was likely used for hauling passenger trains on various routes across the railway network. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when steam locomotives ruled the rails and the sound of their whistles signaled the arrival and departure of trains at stations across the country.
