EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases Mallard, number 4468, a 3-cylinder 4-6-2 type locomotive built at Doncaster Works for the London & North Eastern Railway (LNER) in 1938. Designed by Sir Nigel Gresley, this iconic locomotive is a testament to the engineering prowess of the era. The Mallard, named for the duck due to its streamlined shape, was a game-changer in railway history. On July 3, 1938, it set the world steam speed record of 126.5 miles per hour (203.5 kilometers per hour) at Stoke Bank, near Grantham, Lincolnshire. This achievement solidified the LNER's reputation as a pioneering railway company. In this image, the Mallard is captured in its prime, exuding power and elegance as it gracefully moves along the Eastern railway lines. The intricate details of its design, from the curved boiler to the meticulously placed logos and numbering, are on full display. The steam billowing from the chimney and the sparks flying from the wheels add to the sense of motion and energy. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a window into the world of steam railways and the remarkable achievements of the LNER and Sir Nigel Gresley. It is a testament to the enduring allure of steam locomotives and the passion they continue to inspire in railway enthusiasts and history buffs alike.
