This photograph showcases Locomotive No. 241, a 4-4-0 type steam locomotive, as it proudly stands at Glasgow's railway station in the early 20th century. The Western Region locomotive, with its distinctive design and intricate details, exudes an undeniable charm and power. The steam engine's large driving wheels and tall chimney are a testament to the engineering prowess of the time, while the gleaming boiler and polished metalwork reflect the meticulous care taken by its dedicated crew. The scene transports us back to an era when rail transport was the backbone of long-distance travel and transportation of goods in Scotland and beyond. The bustling railway station in Glasgow serves as a hub of activity, with passengers and cargo coming and going, and the sound of steam engines filling the air. The 4-4-0 locomotive, also known as an American type, was a popular design for its versatility and efficiency. Its four leading wheels and four trailing wheels provided excellent traction and stability, making it well-suited for various types of terrain. The locomotive's powerful engine could pull heavy loads, making it an essential workhorse of the railway system. This photograph is a snapshot of a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the rich history of rail transportation in Scotland and the world. The steam locomotive, with its unparalleled charm and engineering marvel, continues to captivate and inspire us, serving as a reminder of the ingenuity and determination of the human spirit.
