EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases Locomotive No. 2225, a magnificent example of a 4-4-2 Atlantic type steam locomotive, proudly displayed in its prime condition. The Atlantic class, designed by George Churchward for the Great Western Railway (GWR) in the early 20th century, was renowned for its power and efficiency. This particular locomotive, numbered 2225, was built in 1923 and is a testament to the ingenuity and craftsmanship of the era. The Atlantic type locomotive, with its distinctive long boiler and two sets of driving wheels, was a popular choice for long-distance passenger trains. The large firebox and water capacity enabled the engine to carry enough fuel and water for long journeys, while the powerful cylinders and efficient boiler provided ample steam power to haul heavy loads. The locomotive in this photograph exudes an air of elegance and power, its polished brass and gleaming steel gleaming in the sunlight. The intricate details of the engine's design are on full display, from the delicate etchings on the boiler to the meticulously crafted valves and pistons. The steam billowing from the chimney and the sparks flying from the wheels add to the sense of motion and energy. This photograph is a reminder of the golden age of rail transport, when steam locomotives ruled the rails and the sound of hissing steam and clanking gears were the soundtrack of the industrial revolution. The Atlantic class locomotives, like Locomotive No. 2225, were the epitome of engineering excellence and remain a source of fascination for railway enthusiasts and history buffs alike.
