EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the STEAM Museum of the GWR takes us back to the 1940s during World War II, a time when women played an integral role in various sectors. In this particular image, we witness a group of determined female permanent way workers diligently carrying out their duties within the GWR. Amidst the chaos and destruction caused by war, these resilient women can be seen fixing track chairs to wooden sleepers as part of their vital responsibilities in the permanent way department. Their focused expressions and skilled hands demonstrate their commitment towards maintaining railway infrastructure even during such challenging times. During World War II, with men being called away for military service, it became necessary for women to step into traditionally male-dominated roles. The GWR recognized this need and embraced gender equality by employing capable women who proved themselves more than capable of handling tasks previously reserved exclusively for men. This powerful image serves as a testament not only to these remarkable individuals but also to countless other brave women who contributed significantly on both home fronts and battlefields during WWII. It is a reminder that strength knows no gender boundaries and that unity is crucial in times of crisis. Let us honor these unsung heroes whose dedication helped keep our railways running smoothly amidst adversity.
