EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases Locomotive No. 90, a 2-4-2T tank locomotive, as it gracefully moves along the rails of a Welsh railway. The locomotive, adorned with its intricate design and steam-powered machinery, exudes an undeniable charm and allure. The four coupled wheels beneath the engine provide the necessary traction to propel the locomotive forward, while the two leading wheels, or "leading wheels," offer added stability on the tracks. The locomotive's tank, positioned atop the engine, holds the water required to generate steam, which in turn powers the engine's pistons. The steam is produced by heating water in the boiler, creating a high-pressure vapor that drives the pistons and ultimately moves the train. The Barry Railway, a historic railway line in South Wales, is the backdrop for this photograph. The railway, which opened in 1889, played a significant role in the transportation of coal and other goods throughout the region. This locomotive, with its powerful engine and distinctive appearance, would have been a common sight on the Barry Railway during its heyday. The 2-4-2T locomotive design was popular during the late 19th and early 20th centuries due to its versatility and efficiency. It allowed for the transportation of both passengers and goods over various types of terrain. The locomotive's design, with its balanced weight distribution and compact size, made it well-suited for the winding and hilly tracks of the Welsh railway system. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of railway transportation and the enduring allure of steam-powered locomotives. The intricate details of the locomotive, from its wheels to its boiler, come to life as it moves gracefully through the landscape, leaving behind a trail of steam and memories.
