EDITORS COMMENTS
Locomotive No. 4106 Campanula, a stunning example of Victorian engineering, is seen here in all its glory as it proudly stands at a railway station during the early 20th century. This 4-4-0 steam locomotive, also known as a "Atlantic," was built in 1897 by the Great Western Railway (GWR) in Swindon, England. The name "Campanula" was given to the engine in honor of the Campanula flower, a common name for the "Bluebell," which was a popular ornamental plant during that era. The locomotive's sleek and elegant design, with its distinctive bellcast cab and large driving wheels, was typical of the Western Region's locomotives during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The intricate details of the engine, including its ornate boiler cladding and brass fittings, showcase the exceptional craftsmanship of the GWR's engineers. The Campanula was primarily used on passenger trains, hauling them at impressive speeds for the time, making it an essential part of the transportation network during the steam era. The locomotive's powerful engine and efficient design allowed it to tackle the challenging gradients and curves of the Western Region's railway lines with ease. This photograph captures the essence of the romance and allure of the steam railway age, transporting us back in time to an era when locomotives like the Campanula were the backbone of the transportation industry. The image serves as a reminder of the ingenuity, innovation, and passion that went into designing and building the locomotives that shaped the world's railway history.
