EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases Locomotive No. 3020 Cornwall, a historic steam engine built around 1860. The locomotive was initially designed as a 2-2-2, with two leading and two trailing wheels on each side of the engine, and later rebuilt with a LNWR (London and North Western Railway) lamp and number plate. The locomotive's intricate design and impressive engineering are on full display in this image, with its tall chimney stack billowing out plumes of steam, and the detailed boiler and machinery visible behind the large, curved windows. The engine's wheels, adorned with intricate spokes and metalwork, are a testament to the craftsmanship of the era. The locomotive's name, "Cornwall," is proudly displayed on the side, along with the number "3020," indicating its place in the ranks of the railway's fleet. The LNWR lamp atop the engine adds a sense of authority and importance to the machine, which would have been a common sight on the rails of the western railway network during the late 19th century. Despite the passage of time, this photograph transports us back to an era of transportation history when steam engines ruled the rails and the sound of whistling locomotives was a familiar and exciting part of daily life. The locomotive's powerful presence and the sense of motion it conveys serve as a reminder of the transformative impact of the railway on transportation and the world around us.
