EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the enchanting era of 1930, where the magnificent Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway comes to life. Standing proudly in front of a bustling train station, we witness the awe-inspiring Locomotive 0-8-2 "River Irt" as it effortlessly pulls a train packed with open coaches. The sheer power and elegance emanating from this locomotive is truly remarkable. Constructed in 1928, "River Irt" was born out of the rebuild of another legendary engine called "Muriel" which first graced the tracks in 1894. This fascinating transformation showcases both innovation and preservation, blending history seamlessly with modernity. The scene captured here evokes a sense of nostalgia and adventure. Passengers eagerly await their journey aboard this iconic steam-powered marvel, ready to embark on an unforgettable experience through picturesque landscapes that only Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway can offer. Preserved within the Ronald Shephard Collection at West Sussex Record Office, this print serves as a testament to our rich railway heritage. It allows us to appreciate not only the engineering marvels but also the human stories behind them. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are transported back to an era where steam trains reigned supreme and journeys were filled with anticipation and wonderment. Let your imagination run wild as you explore every detail within this extraordinary photograph from West Sussex County Council's archives.
