EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the National Railway Museum takes us back in time to Aintree station on 4 April 1913, during the exhilarating Grand National day. The image showcases a bustling scene of engines and carriages filling up the crowded sidings. As our eyes wander through this snapshot of history, we are immediately drawn to a North Eastern Railway train positioned prominently on the right side of the frame. Its sleek design and powerful presence hint at its role in transporting eager spectators to witness one of England's most prestigious horse racing events. In the background, four London & North Western Railway locomotives stand tall, their steam billowing into the air as they await their turn to join in this grand spectacle. The atmosphere is electric with anticipation as passengers eagerly board these magnificent trains bound for an unforgettable day at Aintree. The photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a testament to the significance of railways during this era. It symbolizes how these iron horses played an integral role in connecting people across vast distances and bringing them together for shared experiences. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of history preserved within this photo print, we can almost hear the sounds of whistles blowing, feel the vibrations underfoot from passing trains, and sense the excitement that filled every corner of Aintree station on that memorable spring day over a century ago.
