EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the STEAM Museum of the GWR, we are transported back to the year 1940, where King George V stands tall and regal at Twyford East Signal Box. This remarkable image captures a moment in history when royalty and railway intersected. King George V, known for his love of locomotives, is seen here amidst the grandeur of a King Class steam engine. The majestic train serves as a fitting backdrop for his presence, symbolizing power and progress during an era defined by innovation. Twyford East Signal Box provides an intriguing setting for this snapshot in time. Nestled within its wooden walls lies a hub of activity, with dedicated signalmen ensuring smooth operations on the tracks. As they work diligently behind him, King George V's visit brings excitement and honor to these unsung heroes of rail transportation. This print not only immortalizes a significant moment but also pays homage to Britain's rich railway heritage. It reminds us that even amidst wartime challenges, trains remained vital lifelines connecting communities across the nation. As we gaze upon this historical treasure captured through lens and ink, we can't help but feel inspired by both the resilience exhibited during those tumultuous times and our enduring fascination with all things locomotive-related.
