EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history as a specialist diligently removes blue asbestos from two vintage steam trains at the Midland Railway Trust in Butterley. The date, 15th September 1988, marks an era of restoration and preservation for these magnificent locomotives. In this snapshot from the 1980s, we witness the dedication and expertise required to maintain these iconic steam engines. Clad in protective clothing and wearing a face mask, the specialist works meticulously to ensure the safety of both themselves and future passengers. Their commitment to removing hazardous materials showcases their unwavering passion for preserving our rich railway heritage. The image features two notable steam train models: Fowler Class 4F and Princess Royal Class "Princess Margar". These powerful machines played vital roles in England's transport industry during the twentieth century. Now under the care of Midland Railway Trust, they are being lovingly restored to their former glory. Derbyshire's East Midlands region serves as a fitting backdrop for this scene, with its picturesque landscapes adding an extra layer of charm to this historical moment frozen in time. This photograph is not just about trains; it symbolizes human ingenuity and determination to protect our past while embracing progress towards a safer future. As we gaze upon this remarkable image captured by Memory Lane Prints' staff photographer, we are reminded of how crucial it is to honor our industrial heritage while prioritizing worker safety – an essential aspect that has shaped transportation systems worldwide.
