EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of a bygone era as the steam locomotive, believed to be Loco No. 7 "Tom Rolt," emerges from under a bridge on the Talyllyn Narrow Gauge Railway in North Wales. The year is 1991, and the scene is one of timeless beauty and nostalgia. The locomotive, shrouded in a thick cloud of steam, seems to defy the modern world, transporting us back to a simpler time. The Talyllyn Railway, founded in 1865, is the oldest independent railway company in the world. Its narrow gauge tracks wind through the picturesque countryside of Wales, offering a unique and unforgettable railway experience. In this image, we see the locomotive leaving the sheds, with its fireman carefully tending to the fire, ensuring that the engine is ready for its journey. The bridge under which the locomotive passes is a testament to the railway's rich history. Its aged stone arches, worn smooth by the passage of time and countless trains, add to the sense of history and tradition. The Talyllyn Railway is a living museum, preserving the past for future generations to enjoy. This photograph, taken by the renowned photographer Philip Dunn, is a stunning example of the romance and allure of steam railways. It invites us to imagine the sights, sounds, and smells of a bygone era, and to appreciate the beauty and engineering marvels of these historic locomotives.
