EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases Locomotive No. 2000, a 4-6-0 express engine, as it roars down the western railways of a bygone era. The steam locomotive, a symbol of the golden age of rail transport, is seen here in all its glory, its polished metal body gleaming in the sunlight and its massive wheels churning up the tracks with unyielding power. The North Western Railway (NWR) Lamp and Signal Company's lamp and number plate can be seen affixed to the engine's tender, adding an authentic touch to the scene. The intricate details of the locomotive's design are on full display, from the ornate boiler to the meticulously crafted chimney and the large driving wheels that propel the engine forward. The 4-6-0 wheel arrangement, also known as the "Mikado" configuration, is evident in the photograph, with six driving wheels arranged in two sets of three under the engine's boiler and four leading wheels at the front. This wheel arrangement was commonly used for express passenger trains, allowing for greater traction and speed. The photograph transports us back in time, evoking the romance and excitement of the railway age. The roar of the steam engine, the hiss of the escaping steam, and the rhythmic clacking of the wheels on the tracks are all but a distant memory in our modern world. Yet, this photograph serves as a reminder of the ingenuity and engineering prowess of the past, a testament to the transformative power of transportation and the enduring allure of the steam locomotive.
