EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the 1960s, capturing a moment of sheer power and elegance. Here we see the magnificent Colombo A3 Class steam locomotive No 60036 as it departs Ribblehead Station with the morning Leeds to Glasgow train. The image, captured by Bishop Eric Treacy, showcases his exceptional talent for railway photography. Treacy's unique access granted him the opportunity to explore areas that were off-limits to other photographers. His passion for trains extended beyond mere documentation; he formed genuine connections with the footplate crews who operated these majestic machines. Through his persuasive charm, he convinced them on occasion to create special smoke effects solely for his camera lens. In this particular photograph, we witness an awe-inspiring display of raw power and engineering prowess as billowing clouds of steam surround the locomotive in motion. The Colombo A3 Class stands tall against a backdrop of Yorkshire's breathtaking landscapes, its sleek design exuding both strength and grace. Preserved within this National Railway Museum print is not just a snapshot frozen in time but also a testament to Treacy's dedication and artistry behind the lens. It serves as a reminder of an era when steam locomotives ruled the tracks, evoking nostalgia for those who experienced their might firsthand while offering younger generations an insight into our rich railway heritage.
