EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the moment of pride and accomplishment as six railway workers pose next to the newly built Sultan locomotive of the Iron Duke class for the Great Western Railway (GWR) in Britain, 1847. The Sultan and its sister engine, the Great Britain, were groundbreaking inventions in the realm of rail transport, marking a significant step forward in the Victorian era's technological advancements. The Iron Duke class locomotives, designed by Daniel Gooch and built by the Swindon Works, were the first locomotives to be built specifically for the GWR's broad gauge line. The Sultan, named after the Ottoman Sultan Abdul Mejid I, was an impressive feat of engineering, boasting a powerful 2-2-2 wheel arrangement and a total weight of 21 tons. The workers in this image, dressed in their heavy work clothes, appear to be in their late teens or early twenties, reflecting the demanding conditions of the 1840s railway industry. Their expressions convey a sense of pride and accomplishment, as they stand next to the engine they helped bring to life. This photograph is a testament to the human spirit and the ingenuity of the Victorian era, as well as the critical role of railway workers in shaping the transportation landscape of the time. The Sultan locomotive, with its intricate design and powerful presence, would have been a sight to behold as it roared down the tracks, heralding a new era in rail transport and leaving an indelible mark on the history of the Great Western Railway.
