EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we see Driver Les Jorda of Derby seated in the driving cab of a historic locomotive. This remarkable machine is none other than the first and most powerful main line diesel locomotive ever built in British Railways workshops. Proudly numbered D. 1. and named Scafell Pike, it represents a significant milestone in the evolution of public transport. Taken on April 24th, 1959, this image captures Driver Les Jorda at the helm of technological progress. Clad in his distinguished uniform, he exudes confidence and expertise as he prepares for an unforgettable journey ahead. The driver's cab itself is a testament to engineering brilliance - a space where power meets precision. The controls are meticulously arranged, reflecting the intricate nature of operating such an advanced locomotive during that era. This photograph not only immortalizes an iconic moment but also serves as a reminder of how far our transportation systems have come since then. It symbolizes innovation and progress within the railways industry while evoking nostalgia for those who experienced train travel during the 1950s. NCJ / Kemsley has expertly captured this slice of history through their lens, allowing us to appreciate both the technical marvels and human dedication behind our beloved trains from yesteryears.
