EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken on the 25th of March, 1950, we witness a nostalgic moment in history. The Dunrobin, the Duke of Sutherland's private engine, embarks on its final journey under its own steam. Accompanied by the luxurious coach that has hosted royalty from around the world, Dunrobin ventures south from Golspie to Romney. As it arrives at New Romney station, an enchanting contrast unfolds before our eyes. Standing proudly beside it is another magnificent engine - a model Canadian Pacific named "Winston Churchill" belonging to the Romney Hythe and Dymchurch railway. This juxtaposition symbolizes both the endearing charm of vintage rail travel and the progress made in locomotive technology. The platform is abuzz with excitement as children eagerly gather around to witness this historic event. Among them is a schoolboy who captures every moment with his trusty camera, immersing himself in documenting this golden age of train travel. This remarkable image serves as a window into an era long gone but forever cherished.
