EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1940, capturing a remarkable moment in railway history. The image showcases an Aveling & Porter geared locomotive diligently shunting on the Amberley Quarry Railway. With its powerful steam engine and intricate gears, this magnificent machine stands as a testament to the ingenuity of early locomotive engineering. The backdrop of this scene is equally enchanting, with Amberley Station peeking through in the distance. The exchange sidings provide a bustling atmosphere as workers go about their tasks, ensuring smooth operations on this vital railway line. Preserved within the Ronald Shephard Railway Collection at West Sussex Record Office, this photograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era when steam-powered locomotives were at the heart of transportation networks. It serves as a reminder of our rich industrial heritage and pays homage to those who worked tirelessly behind-the-scenes to keep these railways running smoothly. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, it's important to appreciate not only the beauty captured within but also acknowledge that commercial use should be excluded from discussions surrounding this historical artifact. Let us treasure such images for their cultural significance and celebrate them as windows into our past rather than commodities for profit-making ventures.
