EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases Locomotive No. 251, an Atlantic type 4-4-2 express steam locomotive, proudly displayed in its prime. The Northern Railway Company's iconic engine, with its elegant curves and intricate details, was a testament to the engineering prowess of the early 20th century. The Atlantic type, named for its ability to traverse the Atlantic Coast Line in the United States, was a popular choice for express passenger trains due to its power and efficiency. With a total weight of approximately 140 tons and a boiler pressure of 225 psi, Locomotive No. 251 was a force to be reckoned with on the rails. The engine's polished brass fittings, gleaming steel bodywork, and meticulously maintained wheels and pistons speak to the dedication of the railway workers who kept it in top condition. The large, domed boiler and high, tapered stack add to the locomotive's striking appearance, while the intricate details of the valve gear and motion reveal the complex machinery at work. As the train roared down the tracks, the sound of the hissing steam and the rhythmic chugging of the pistons would have filled the air, signaling the approach of the express train. The Atlantic type locomotives, like Locomotive No. 251, were a symbol of progress and innovation in the rail transportation industry, and this photograph captures their enduring allure and charm.
