EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the powerful presence of 4-6-2 locomotive no. 603 as it chugs along the rails of Central Africa's railway system. The steam engine, with its intricate design and meticulously detailed boiler, exudes an undeniable allure, transporting us back in time to an era when the iron horse ruled the rails. The 4-6-2 locomotive, also known as a Pacific type, was a popular design in the early 20th century due to its excellent power-to-weight ratio and ability to handle heavy loads over long distances. With six driving wheels arranged in two sets of three, this locomotive was a force to be reckoned with on the railway lines of South Africa and beyond. The photograph captures the locomotive in its element, billowing clouds of steam as it gains momentum, leaving a trail of white smoke in its wake. The raw power and energy of the engine are palpable, as it navigates the undulating terrain with ease and grace. The railway system played a pivotal role in the development of Central Africa, connecting various regions and facilitating the transportation of goods and people. The steam locomotive, such as no. 603, was the backbone of this transportation network, enabling the growth and expansion of industries and communities. This photograph is a testament to the enduring legacy of the steam locomotive and the indelible mark it left on the history of rail transport in South Africa and across the African continent.
