EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the National Railway Museum takes us back to 1910, capturing a bustling scene at Mildenhall station. The view is taken from the corner of the goods shed, providing a unique perspective into this vibrant railway hub. In the foreground, we can see the top of a standard ground signal, reminding us of the meticulous attention to detail required for safe and efficient train operations. Behind the station's signal box lies an intriguing feature - the turntable. This mechanical marvel allowed locomotives to be rotated for maintenance or repositioning onto different tracks. Its presence adds an air of nostalgia and reminds us of how technology has evolved over time. In this snapshot, animal carcasses are being unloaded from a nearby wagon, highlighting one aspect of transportation that was vital during this era - livestock delivery. Beyond them lie cattle pens on the dock, suggesting that Mildenhall played a significant role in facilitating agricultural trade. The photo immerses us in an atmosphere filled with steam locomotives and wagons scattered across sidings and platforms. It sparks our imagination as we envision passengers boarding trains bound for various destinations while workers scurry about their duties. As we admire this historical gem preserved by NRM, it serves as a reminder of how railways have shaped our world through transport and connectivity throughout history. Let's appreciate these glimpses into our past and celebrate their contribution to progress and development
