EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Brunel's broad gauge track, showcasing the ingenuity of 19th-century engineering. The image is part of a private collection and was taken by an English photographer during the early twentieth century. The photograph depicts a small railway line with a train traveling along it, representing the advancements in public transportation during that time. The railway stands out against the white background, emphasizing its importance as a means of transport for passengers. Brunel's broad gauge track revolutionized railways in England and played a significant role in shaping Britain's railroad system. This image serves as an illustration for "Britain's Railroads in the Making" specifically featured in "The Permanent Way" by Horace Greenleaf and G Tyers. With its monochromatic palette, this photo evokes nostalgia for a bygone era when trains were essential for travel. It transports viewers back to the 1940s, known as the forties or nineteen forties, when railroads were at their peak. This snapshot showcases not only Brunel's innovative approach but also highlights how railways transformed society and connected people across Great Britain. Its historical significance makes it an intriguing piece to explore within the context of British history and transportation development.
