EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a significant moment in Liverpool's history as the Marquis of Salisbury, the 5th Marquess of Salisbury and twice British Prime Minister, turns on the current at the generating station of Bramley-Moore Dock on 4th February 1893. The Marquis, dressed in formal attire, stands proudly in front of the four horizontal compound steam-engines that powered the 4 Elwell-Parker dynamos. These dynamos provided the current for Liverpool Overhead Electric Railway, a passenger service that ran for seven miles through the bustling docks of Liverpool. The Liverpool Overhead Electric Railway was a pioneering development in the city's transportation history. The railway's overhead wires carried electrical current, enabling the trains to run without the need for cables or tracks on the ground. This innovation was essential for Liverpool's docks, where the constant movement of cargo and ships required a flexible and efficient transportation system. The foreground of the engraving reveals the intricacies of the generating station, with the four steam-engines and dynamos clearly visible. The steam engines, with their large cylinders and pistons, were the powerhouse of the system, converting thermal energy into mechanical energy. The dynamos then transformed this mechanical energy into electrical energy, which was distributed to the railway's overhead wires. The Liverpool Overhead Electric Railway operated until 1929, providing a vital link between the city's docks and the wider transportation network. This engraving is a testament to the ingenuity and innovation of the time, showcasing the technological advancements that revolutionized Liverpool's transportation system and contributed to its status as a major global trading hub.
