1972 Caenby Corner Excelsior Fowler Locomotive

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures Fowler Road Locomotive number 15323, affectionately named Excelsior, at Caenby Corner on 19 August 1972. The image showcases the steam engine in its prime, with thick plumes of smoke billowing from its stack, as it pauses momentarily before continuing its journey. The Fowler Road Locomotive, registered HR 3697, is a testament to the rich railway history of the 1970s. The Excelsior, built by the Fowler Company in 1948, was a popular and reliable engine, well-known for its distinctive design and powerful performance. It was a common sight on the rails during this era, transporting goods and passengers across the British countryside. The photograph, taken at Caenby Corner, a well-known landmark on the railway line, adds to the sense of nostalgia and adventure. The location, with its picturesque surroundings and the engine's powerful presence, perfectly encapsulates the romance and charm of the steam railway era. The Excelsior's gleaming metal body, adorned with intricate details and bold lettering, stands out against the backdrop of the rolling hills and lush greenery. The photograph not only captures the beauty and majesty of the steam engine but also the essence of a bygone era, when travel was a more leisurely and romantic experience. This photograph, part of The William Kerry Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, is a must-have for railway enthusiasts, historians, and anyone with a love for the history of transportation. It is a reminder of a time when steam engines ruled the rails and travel was an adventure, filled with the sights, sounds, and smells of a bygone era.
