EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases Locomotive No. 104, an Alliance De Glehn compound engine, in its prime on the rails of the Great Western Railway (GWR) in the early 20th century. Compound engines, like No. 104, were a significant advancement in steam locomotive technology, combining both high and low-pressure steam cycles to increase efficiency and power. The Alliance De Glehn engine, manufactured by the Schneider Et Cie and Creusot-Loire companies in France, was a popular export to the United Kingdom. GWR, known for its innovative engineering and design, was an early adopter of these advanced locomotives. In this image, the intricate details of the engine's design are on full display. The compound engine's distinctive external exhaust pipes, large driving wheels, and ornate decorative elements are all evident. The engine's powerful presence is further emphasized by the billowing steam and the contrasting black and red livery of the GWR. The railway transport sector underwent a period of rapid expansion during this time, and locomotives like No. 104 played a crucial role in moving passengers and goods efficiently and reliably. The romance and allure of the steam era continue to captivate us today, making this photograph a fascinating glimpse into the past. This photograph is a testament to the ingenuity and craftsmanship of the engineers and manufacturers of the time, and a reminder of the critical role steam locomotives played in shaping the transportation landscape. The Alliance De Glehn compound engine, Locomotive No. 104, stands as a symbol of the golden age of rail travel and the indomitable spirit of innovation that drove it forward.
