EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a historic moment in railroad history as King George V and Queen Mary board the Great Western Railway (GWR) locomotive, Windsor Castle, at Swindon in April 1924. The royal couple's visit to the railway works was a significant event, marking the completion of the locomotive named in their honor. The King and Queen are seen here stepping onto the footplate of the engine, surrounded by a crowd of onlookers and railway officials. Dressed in their formal attire, the monarchs exude an air of regality and sophistication. The locomotive, numbered 4082, was a symbol of the GWR's engineering prowess and was adorned with the royal coat of arms. This photograph, taken in the 1920s, offers a fascinating glimpse into the era of steam rail travel and the intersection of royalty and industry. The image has been preserved in this print from the extensive archives of Mary Evans Picture Library and is a must-have for railway enthusiasts, historians, and collectors of royal memorabilia.
