1897 B Road Engineering Fenton Gauges Jackson Loco Locomotive Locomotives Murray Stephenson Trials

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, dated 1897, showcases two iconic locomotives standing proudly side by side: the Stephensons Great A and the Fenton, Murray, and Jackson broad gauge locomotive. The Stephensons Great A, with its distinctive livery and powerful presence, is an embodiment of the engineering prowess of the renowned Stephenson family. This locomotive, a product of the Robert Stephenson and Company, was a mainstay of the British railway system, known for its exceptional performance and reliability. In stark contrast, the Fenton, Murray, and Jackson broad gauge locomotive, also known as the "Royal Scot," represents the cutting edge of railway technology during the late 19th century. Designed by the trio of Fenton, Murray, and Jackson, this locomotive was a testament to their innovative spirit and their commitment to pushing the boundaries of what was possible in steam-powered transportation. The broad gauge track on which these locomotives are positioned was a precursor to the standard gauge tracks that would eventually become the norm in the railway industry. The photograph captures a significant moment in railway history, as these two locomotives undergo trials to determine which gauge would ultimately prevail. This photograph is a testament to the ingenuity and determination of the engineers and innovators who shaped the transportation landscape of the late 19th century. It serves as a reminder of the importance of continuous progress and the relentless pursuit of advancement in the realm of engineering and technology.
