EDITORS COMMENTS
Locomotive No. 148 Cawdor Castle, a majestic 4-6-0 steam locomotive, proudly stands at the railway station in the Scottish Highlands. Built in 1923 by the North British Locomotive Company, this locomotive was named after the historic Cawdor Castle, located in Nairnshire, Scotland. The locomotive's distinctive livery, adorned with intricate details and elegant curves, reflects the rich history and tradition of railway transportation in Scotland. The 4-6-0 designation refers to the arrangement of the engine's wheels: four leading wheels, six driving wheels, and no trailing wheels. This configuration provided excellent power and traction, making it an ideal choice for the challenging terrain and steep gradients of the Scottish Highlands. Steam locomotives like Cawdor Castle played a crucial role in the development of Scotland's railway network, connecting remote communities and facilitating the transportation of goods and passengers. The golden age of steam trains in Scotland lasted from the late 19th century until the 1960s, when diesel and electric locomotives began to replace steam engines. Today, the nostalgic charm of steam trains continues to draw visitors from around the world. Enthusiasts and history buffs alike are captivated by the sight and sound of these magnificent machines, which evoke memories of a bygone era. The preservation of locomotives like Cawdor Castle ensures that future generations can appreciate the engineering marvels and historical significance of Scotland's railway heritage.
