Taken in 1866 by Carhutt, a skilled photographer of that era, this image transports us back to the golden age of train travel. The scene is filled with an air of excitement and anticipation as these dedicated workers meticulously position each rail, ensuring smooth journeys for future locomotives. The steam train looming in the background adds a touch of nostalgia to this remarkable snapshot from history. It serves as a reminder of how far transportation has come since those early days when railways were at their peak. This photograph perfectly encapsulates both the beauty and importance of rail travel during its heyday.
