EDITORS COMMENTS
No. 4073 Caerphilly Castle, a majestic 4-6-0 Castle Class locomotive built in 1923, is captured in this stunning photograph at the Steam Museum of the Great Western Railway. This locomotive, named after the historic Caerphilly Castle in Wales, is a testament to the engineering prowess of its time. The Castle Class locomotives were designed by Charles Collett, Chief Mechanical Engineer of the Great Western Railway (GWR), between 1922 and 1923. They were built to replace the older 4-6-0 Saint Class locomotives and were characterized by their powerful appearance and improved performance. No. 4073 Caerphilly Castle is one such locomotive, with its distinctive cast-iron boiler, large Belpaire firebox, and elegant lines. This photograph captures No. 4073 Caerphilly Castle in all its glory, as it sits proudly on display at the Steam Museum of the GWR. The locomotive's polished brass fittings gleam in the light, and its steam-filled chimney belches out plumes of white smoke. The engine house in the background adds to the sense of history and nostalgia, as it harks back to the golden age of steam rail travel. No. 4073 Caerphilly Castle was withdrawn from service in 1962, but was preserved for future generations to enjoy. Today, it is a beloved exhibit at the Steam Museum of the GWR, where visitors can marvel at its intricate details and powerful presence. This photograph is a reminder of the important role that steam locomotives played in our transportation history and the enduring appeal they continue to hold for railway enthusiasts and history buffs alike.
