EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken around 1960, transports us back in time to Blue Anchor Station in Somerset. The scene is bustling with activity as road traffic vehicles, including a Western National bus, eagerly await their turn to cross the level crossing, granting them access to the sandy beach just out of shot. The level crossing, a vital link between the railway and the seaside community, adds to the sense of hustle and bustle in this image. The presence of the signal box underscores the importance of the railway in managing the flow of both passengers and goods. At the heart of the scene, a 4300 Mogul Class locomotive, number 6398, sits proudly at the station. This steam engine, with its distinctive curved boiler and powerful presence, epitomizes the era of steam travel. The Mogul Class locomotives were a popular choice for the Great Western Railway (GWR) due to their versatility and reliability, making them a common sight on the rails during the 1960s. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the past, showcasing the harmony between road and rail transport during a time when both played essential roles in connecting people to their communities and favorite destinations.
