EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from 1957, we witness a historic moment in railway history. The image showcases a skilled driver attaching the nameplate to an A4 class locomotive, specifically number 60015 Quicksilver. This powerful 4-6-2 locomotive is seen pulling The Fair Maid train, which embarked on its journey from London to Edinburgh on September 3rd. The Fair Maid train was renowned for its punctuality and efficiency, departing precisely at 7:50 am and arriving promptly at 2:36 pm in Edinburgh Waverley station. Originally known as the Talisman, this iconic train underwent a significant name change in 1957 before being reverted back to its original title in the following year. This photograph captures not only the meticulous attention given by the driver while attaching the nameplate but also symbolizes the pride and dedication of all those involved in operating these magnificent steam engines during that era. It serves as a testament to their commitment towards ensuring safe and reliable transportation for passengers traveling between two major cities. Preserved by the National Railway Museum, this print offers us a glimpse into an enchanting chapter of British railway heritage. It reminds us of how trains like The Fair Maid played an integral role in connecting people across vast distances while leaving behind indelible memories of travel through picturesque landscapes.
