EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, two iconic locomotives, The Flying Scotsman of 1888 and 1938, stand proudly at Sevenage station, marking a significant moment in railway history. The image was captured in July 1970, during celebrations marking the jubilee of the railway race to Scotland. The Flying Scotsman of 1888, a magnificent locomotive of the Victorian era, was the first train to make the journey from London to Edinburgh in under nine hours. This groundbreaking achievement was a testament to the ingenuity and progress of the railway industry in the late 19th century. The Flying Scotsman of 1938, on the other hand, was a modern marvel of its time. It was the first steam locomotive to reach 100 miles per hour, breaking the speed record and capturing the imagination of the public. The photograph captures the essence of the railway race to Scotland, a competition that began in the late 1800s to see which railway company could make the journey from London to Edinburgh the fastest. The eventual winner, the London and North Eastern Railway (LNER), celebrated its success with the introduction of the Flying Scotsman, a name that would become synonymous with speed and innovation. The image is a testament to the rich history of the railway industry, showcasing the evolution of technology and the enduring allure of the steam train. The Flying Scotsman of 1888 and 1938, standing side by side, serve as a reminder of the past and the importance of preserving historical artifacts for future generations. This photograph, taken at Sevenage station, is a must-have for any railway enthusiast or history buff. It is a snapshot of a bygone era, a time when the railway was a symbol of progress and innovation, and a reminder of the enduring allure of the steam train.
