EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling activity of a London railway station in the 1950s, with the majestic Steam Locomotive Apollo taking center stage. Belonging to the Britannia class, this iconic engine, numbered 70015, is shown undergoing a crew changeover on the platform. The fresh crew, dressed in their smart uniforms, are eagerly taking over from the weary driver and fireman, who have just completed their shift. The steam locomotive, with its intricate design and powerful presence, emits a plume of smoke into the crisp morning air, adding to the sense of energy and movement. The hustle and bustle of the station, with passengers coming and going, and the sound of the train whistle in the background, further emphasize the hive of activity. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the importance of the railway in the daily lives of people during the 1950s and the dedication of the crew who kept the trains running smoothly.
