EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant print captures the heartbreaking sight of four 0-6-0 Dean Goods locomotives, numbered 2479,2576,2425, and 2399, in the process of being scrapped around the late 1940s. These locomotives were all built during the 1890s and had served their country dutifully through both World Wars. During the war years, many Dean Goods engines were saved from destruction as they were needed for vital war service. However, once locomotive building resumed after the war ended, these older engines faced an unfortunate fate on the scrap heap once again. The image serves as a somber reminder of a bygone era when steam-powered trains ruled the rails. The worn-out appearance of these majestic machines tells stories of countless journeys undertaken and battles fought. It is a testament to their resilience and reliability that they lasted for decades before meeting this sorrowful end. As we gaze upon this photograph today at STEAM Museum of GWR (Great Western Railway), let us remember not only these specific locomotives but also all those who worked tirelessly behind them to keep our railways running smoothly throughout history. May their legacy live on in our memories as we continue to appreciate and preserve our rich railway heritage.
