This print from the STEAM Museum of the GWR takes us back to the 1940s, offering a glimpse into the bustling Newport Alexandra Docks. The image showcases an extraordinary consignment of railway coaches being prepared for shipment to Iraq, serving as a testament to the global reach and influence of Britain's Great Western Railway. In this snapshot frozen in time, our attention is immediately drawn to the steam tug "Trusty" gracefully positioned in the foreground. Its powerful presence exudes reliability and dependability, ready to assist in navigating these colossal railway carriages onto their overseas voyage. The trusty tugboat stands as a symbol of unwavering support during times when transportation by sea was paramount. The dock itself appears alive with activity; workers scurry around like ants on a mission, ensuring every detail is meticulously attended to before departure. The sheer scale of this operation is awe-inspiring - rows upon rows of majestic coaches line up along the quay, awaiting their turn for embarkation.
