EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing the sheer elegance of British Railways-built Fairburn 2-6-4 tank steam locomotive No 42015. Taken by the renowned photographer Eric Treacy, this image transports us back to the year 1959, where we find ourselves at Settle station witnessing a truly nostalgic scene. As the locomotive gracefully pulls away from the platform, billows of steam rise into the air, creating an ethereal atmosphere. The intricate details of this magnificent machine are beautifully highlighted in this print – from its sleek design to its powerful presence on the tracks. Its polished exterior gleams under the sunlight as it embarks on its journey with a southbound local passenger train trailing behind. The composition of this photograph is nothing short of artistry; every element seems perfectly placed – from the arching bridge framing Settle station in the background to the lush greenery that surrounds it. Treacy's keen eye for detail allows us to appreciate not only the locomotive but also our surroundings - reminding us that railways have always been intricately woven into Britain's picturesque landscapes. This print serves as a poignant reminder of an era when steam engines ruled supreme and train travel was both romantic and adventurous. It encapsulates a sense of nostalgia for those who experienced these times firsthand while offering younger generations a glimpse into an enchanting past they may never have known.
