EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Torbay Express steam locomotive, 70035, also known as the Rudyard Kipling, in its prime during the 1960s. The Great Western Railway (GWR) train, named after the renowned author, was a popular passenger service that ran from London Paddington to the picturesque West Country. The locomotive's powerful presence is on full display as it charges forward, leaving a trail of steam in its wake. The driver intently focuses on the tracks ahead, ensuring a smooth and safe journey for the passengers aboard the vintage carriages. The Torbay Express represented a bygone era of rail travel, offering a unique and unforgettable experience. The steam engine's raw power and the sound of its whistle were a testament to the romance and allure of the railway, making each journey an adventure. This photograph is a nostalgic reminder of a time when travel was a more leisurely and enchanting experience, and the Torbay Express, with its iconic locomotive and carriages, was a cherished part of that legacy.
