EDITORS COMMENTS
Locomotive No. 1, an Atlantic Type 4-4-2, stands proudly at a Scottish railway station in this photograph. This steam engine, a true marvel of engineering from the early days of rail transport, is a classic example of the Atlantic locomotive design, which was widely used in Britain during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The 4-4-2 wheel arrangement, also known as the "American" or "Mikado" arrangement, refers to the configuration of four leading wheels, four power wheels, and two trailing wheels. This design provided excellent traction and stability, making it ideal for heavy passenger trains. The Atlantic locomotive's distinctive shape is evident in this image, with its large boiler, tall chimney, and prominent cab. The engine's gleaming brass fittings and intricate detailing are a testament to the craftsmanship and innovation of the time. The steam era of rail transport was a transformative period in history, connecting people and places in new ways and revolutionizing the way goods and passengers were moved. This photograph captures the essence of that era, transporting us back in time to a bygone age of steam-powered adventure. Locomotive No. 1, with its powerful presence and rich history, is a reminder of the romance and allure of the railways, and the enduring fascination they hold for generations of transport enthusiasts.
