EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the majestic sight of a one-hundred truck coal train on the Great Western Railway (GWR) winding its way through the picturesque landscape of South Wales in 1908. The coal trucks, belonging to the John Lancaster & Co colliery company of Nant-y-glo (Nantyglo), are laden with their precious cargo, destined for destinations unknown. The griffin symbol emblazoned on the sides of the trucks, the heraldic creature with the body, tail, and back legs of a lion; the head and wings of an eagle, proudly represents the Nantyglo Colliery Company Limited. The Edwardian era train, with its steam engine billowing smoke, is a testament to the industrial might of the time. The coal trains played a crucial role in the transportation of the region's most valuable resource, fueling the industrial revolution and powering the country's growing industries. The tracks of the Great Western Railway, stretching out before the train, weave through the Welsh countryside, connecting communities and facilitating the movement of goods and people. The intricate network of rails and tracks, a marvel of engineering, allowed for the efficient transportation of coal from the collieries to the ports and beyond. This photograph is a snapshot of history, a moment frozen in time, and a reminder of the vital role the coal industry played in shaping the economic and industrial landscape of South Wales and the wider world. The image, with its rich history and intriguing details, is a must-have for any collection of historical photographs or those interested in the history of transport and industry in Wales and beyond.
