EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the STEAM Museum of the GWR takes us back in time to St Ives Station, Cornwall, circa 1910. The image showcases a picturesque view of this historic station, with its charming architecture and breathtaking surroundings. Nestled on a hilltop overlooking the stunning Porthminster Beach, St Ives Station has been an integral part of Cornwall's railway network since it first opened its doors in 1877. In this particular snapshot, we catch a glimpse of an unknown saddletank locomotive and its train as they depart from St Ives Station. The steam billowing from the engine adds an air of nostalgia to the scene, transporting us back to an era when rail travel was at its peak. It is fascinating to imagine passengers eagerly boarding this train for their journey along the line that connects St Erth just a few miles away. The photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a testament to the rich history and importance of railways in Cornwall during this period. As we admire this remarkable image, we can't help but appreciate how much has changed over the years while still cherishing these timeless relics that remind us of our past.
