EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases Locomotive No. 696, an Atlantic Type 4-4-2 steam locomotive, as it gracefully moves along the railway tracks. The locomotive's powerful presence is evident in its sleek design and the plume of steam billowing from its stack. The Eastern Railways once proudly added this locomotive to their fleet, and it became a beloved symbol of transportation history. The Atlantic Type, also known as the "Atlantic," was a popular locomotive design during the golden age of railroading. Its name comes from the fact that it was designed to operate on both long-haul and short-haul routes, much like the Atlantic Ocean, which stretches both inland and out to sea. The 4-4-2 wheel arrangement refers to the number of leading and trailing wheels, as well as the pair of wheels under the boiler. Locomotive No. 696's intricate details, from its polished brass fittings to its meticulously crafted engine components, are a testament to the artistry and engineering prowess of the era. As steam locomotives like this one gave way to more modern forms of transportation, they became cherished relics of a bygone age. Today, they continue to inspire awe and fascination among rail enthusiasts and history buffs alike. This photograph, taken from a bygone era, offers a glimpse into the past and the rich history of steam locomotives. It's a reminder of the transformative impact they had on transportation and the enduring allure they hold for generations to come.
