EDITORS COMMENTS
Locomotive No. 875, a magnificent example of Northern railway engineering, is shown in this photograph. The steam locomotive, with its intricate design and powerful presence, epitomizes the golden age of rail transport. The engine, built by the Great Northern Railway (GNR) in 1923, was part of a class known as the J72 0-6-0 Tank Locomotives. The J72 class was designed for shunting and light freight work, and No. 875 served faithfully in this role for many years. Its distinctive black livery, adorned with the GNR crest, adds to its historic charm. The locomotive's large driving wheels and compact design are a testament to the engineering prowess of the time. The photograph captures the locomotive in its natural habitat - the railway yard. Surrounded by railway tracks, coal piles, and other railway equipment, No. 875 appears both at work and at rest. The steam billowing from the chimney and the condensation on the engine's windows add to the sense of motion and energy. The photograph is a reminder of the vital role that steam locomotives played in the transportation revolution of the 19th and 20th centuries. They transformed the way people and goods were transported, connecting communities and economies across vast distances. Today, they remain a source of fascination and inspiration for railway enthusiasts and historians alike. This image, from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a unique glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when steam locomotives ruled the rails.
