EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the STEAM Museum of the GWR, we are transported back to the remarkable era of World War II. The image showcases a group of resilient and determined female employees diligently working in the Permanant Way Department. Amidst the chaos and uncertainty that engulfed their nation during wartime, these women fearlessly stepped into roles traditionally dominated by men, proving their unwavering commitment to supporting their country's efforts. With sleeves rolled up and tools in hand, they embody strength and resilience as they contribute to maintaining vital railway infrastructure. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of how women played an integral part in keeping Britain moving forward during challenging times. Their dedication and hard work were instrumental in ensuring that trains continued to run smoothly despite wartime disruptions. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot, it is impossible not to be inspired by these trailblazing women who defied societal norms and shattered glass ceilings. They serve as a testament to the indomitable spirit that prevailed throughout World War II. This print encapsulates both the significant contributions made by female workers during WW2 and highlights the importance of recognizing their invaluable role within our shared history. It stands as a tribute to all those unsung heroes who worked tirelessly behind-the-scenes, shaping our world for generations to come.
