EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the majestic departure of LNER 2-8-2 No. 2001, a historic steam locomotive engine, from Waverley Street Station in Edinburgh, Scotland. Built in 1901, this locomotive was one of the first of its kind designed specifically for express services, marking a significant milestone in the evolution of rail transport in Britain. The LNER 2-8-2, also known as the "Mikado" type due to its Japanese origin, was a popular design for express passenger trains in the early 20th century. With its powerful 2-8-2 wheel arrangement, this locomotive boasted impressive pulling power and agility, enabling it to haul heavy trains at high speeds. The image captures the essence of the 1940s railway era, with the steam engine belching out plumes of smoke as it prepares to leave the station. The station's grand architecture, adorned with intricate details and ornate features, stands in stark contrast to the raw power and industrial might of the locomotive. As the engine roars to life, the station comes alive with the sounds and smells of steam and coal. Passengers, bundled up against the cold, wave goodbye to their loved ones, their faces a mix of excitement and sadness as they embark on their journey. This photograph is a testament to the romance and allure of a bygone era, when steam trains ruled the rails and the simple act of traveling by train was an adventure in and of itself. With its rich history and iconic design, LNER 2001 continues to captivate rail enthusiasts and history buffs alike, serving as a reminder of the golden age of rail transport in Britain.
