EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling atmosphere of Swindon Works in the mid-1960s. In No 19 (C / D) Shop, a vital hub for both carriage lifting and bogie repairs, three skilled men are captured in action. Their expertise is evident as they meticulously attach a sturdy frame to a set of wheels, ensuring precision and durability. The image showcases the intricate process involved in maintaining and repairing railway wagons during this era. The attention to detail is remarkable as each component is carefully aligned before being secured into place. To aid their efforts, an overhead crane gracefully hovers above, ready to assist with lifting the heavy frame into its designated position. This photograph not only highlights the technical prowess required for such tasks but also offers a glimpse into the camaraderie that must have existed among these dedicated workers. It serves as a testament to their commitment towards keeping GWR's rolling stock in optimal condition. Preserved within STEAM Museum of the GWR, this snapshot from history allows us to appreciate the craftsmanship and teamwork that went into maintaining Britain's railway network during its golden age. As we admire this timeless scene frozen in time, we can't help but feel grateful for those who worked tirelessly behind-the-scenes at Swindon Works – ensuring safe journeys for countless passengers across generations.
