EDITORS COMMENTS
Locomotive No. 7 2-4-0, a magnificent steam engine of the Great Western Railway (GWR), is depicted in this photograph. The 2-4-0 designation refers to the arrangement of its wheels, with two leading wheels, four power wheels, and no trailing wheels. This specific locomotive, numbered 7, was part of the GWR's St. Thomas Works in England, where it was built in 1874. The engine's intricate details are on full display in this image, from the large, curved boiler to the tall, cylindrical chimney that billows out plumes of steam. The engine's wheels, adorned with intricate spokes and metal fittings, are a testament to the industrial prowess of the era. The engine's cab is home to the locomotive's driver and fireman, who would have spent hours tending to the engine's needs, stoking the fire and controlling the steam valves. The locomotive's livery, in the iconic GWR green and cream colors, is a striking contrast against the gray backdrop of the railway tracks. The engine's number, "7," is prominently displayed on the side, making it easily identifiable. The photograph captures a moment in time when steam power reigned supreme in the transportation industry. The locomotive's powerful presence on the railway tracks is a reminder of the ingenuity and innovation that drove the Industrial Revolution and transformed the way we travel. Today, this image serves as a nostalgic reminder of a bygone era in transportation history.
