EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the STEAM Museum of the GWR takes us back to Swindon Junction Station in 1949. The image beautifully captures County Class No. 1028, known as County of Warwick, gracefully departing from the station. As the powerful steam locomotive pulls away, billowing clouds of smoke fill the air, creating an atmosphere reminiscent of a bygone era. The photograph showcases not only the majestic locomotive but also provides a glimpse into the architecture and infrastructure of Swindon Junction Station during that time. On the left side of the frame stands the impressive station building, its grandeur contrasting with the raw power and energy emanating from No. 1028. Located in Wiltshire, this historic railway hub played a crucial role in connecting various destinations across Britain during its heyday. The scene captured here encapsulates both nostalgia for an era when steam trains reigned supreme and admiration for their engineering marvels. As we delve into this snapshot frozen in time, we are transported back to an age where train travel was at its zenith – a testament to human ingenuity and progress. This print serves as a reminder of our rich railway heritage and invites us to appreciate how far transportation has come since those days while cherishing their enduring charm.
