This print showcases the magnificent Locomotive No. 539, a true testament to the golden era of steam-powered locomotives. Built in 1868 as part of the esteemed 517 class, this remarkable tank engine served faithfully for an impressive sixty-five years before being withdrawn from service in 1933. The image captures the essence of this historic locomotive, with its sleek design and powerful presence. The gleaming metallic exterior reflects the dedication and craftsmanship that went into its construction over a century ago.
