EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the golden age of steam locomotives. Captured on the 22nd of May in 1956, it showcases the magnificent 43XX Class locomotive, no. 6350, as it gracefully passes through Dauntsey Station. The station's lattice footbridge stands tall in the background, a testament to its architectural beauty and functionality. Dauntsey Station holds a rich history that dates back to its opening in 1868. Serving as a vital transportation hub for both passengers and goods, it witnessed countless journeys and stories over the years. However, like many other stations during this era of progress and change, Dauntsey sadly closed its doors in 1965. The image perfectly encapsulates the nostalgia associated with steam travel - billowing smoke from the engine fills the air while passengers eagerly await their departure or arrival at this bustling station. The nameboard proudly displays "Dauntsey" reminding us of its significance within Wiltshire's railway network. Preserved by STEAM Museum of GWR (Great Western Railway), this photograph offers a glimpse into an era long gone but not forgotten. It serves as a reminder of our rich railway heritage and allows us to appreciate both the engineering marvels that were these locomotives and their impact on society at large
