EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, a steam locomotive undergoes meticulous servicing in a siding at Exeter St David's station, Devon, during the 1960s. The scene transports us back in time, as the hiss of steam and the clang of metal resonate through the air. The locomotive, its once gleaming exterior now marred by soot and grime, is a testament to the gritty reality of railway maintenance in the steam era. Men in greasy overalls and caps work diligently around the engine, their faces focused and determined as they attend to various tasks. One man wields a large spanner, tightening a bolt on the locomotive's belly, while another shovels coal into the firebox. A third man checks the pressure gauge, ensuring the engine is ready for its next journey. The track stretches out behind the locomotive, the rails glinting in the sunlight that filters through the clouds. Smoke billows from the chimney, a reminder of the raw power and energy that drives these magnificent machines. The West Country landscape unfolds in the background, with rolling hills and lush greenery providing a picturesque backdrop to the industrial scene. This photograph captures the essence of a bygone era, when steam locomotives ruled the rails and maintenance crews worked tirelessly to keep them running. It is a snapshot of a time when transport was not just a means of getting from A to B, but an experience in itself - an experience that left a lasting impression on those who witnessed it.
