EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Ransomes Sims and Jefferies General Purpose Engine number 26475, affectionately known as "Pride of the Marsh," at Caenby Corner on August 19, 1972. The Pride of the Marsh is a magnificent example of engineering from the Ransomes Sims and Jefferies company, showcasing their expertise in steam transport during the 1970s. The image captures the essence of the 1970s steam transport era, with the engine's gleaming metal exterior, thick plumes of steam billowing from its stack, and the vibrant colors of the surrounding landscape. The Pride of the Marsh appears powerful and majestic, a testament to the ingenuity and innovation of the past. The General Purpose Engine was a versatile machine, capable of performing a variety of tasks, from hauling heavy loads to providing power for construction sites. Its robust design and reliability made it a staple in transportation and industrial applications, especially in rural areas where access to electricity was limited. The photograph, from The William Kerry Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into a bygone era, a time when steam power reigned supreme in transportation and industry. The Pride of the Marsh stands as a symbol of the past, a reminder of the important role steam engines played in shaping the world we live in today.
