EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases No. 40, North Star, a Star Class locomotive built in 1906. The locomotive is depicted in its original Atlantic 4-4-2 wheel arrangement, a design that was later modified to a 4-6-0 configuration in 1909. The Star Class locomotives were a significant advancement in railway engineering during the early 20th century, characterized by their powerful and efficient design. The North Star, with its gleaming metal body and intricate details, stands proudly against a backdrop of lush greenery and steam rising from its stack. The Atlantic wheel arrangement, with two sets of driving wheels beneath the boiler and two sets of trailing wheels behind, is a testament to the engineering prowess of the time. The large, curved boiler and tall chimney give the locomotive an imposing presence, while the intricate details of the cab and controls add to its charm. Despite its impressive appearance, the North Star underwent changes over the years. In 1909, its wheel arrangement was altered to a 4-6-0 configuration, and in 1912, it was renumbered 4000. These modifications were common in the evolving world of railway engineering, as companies continually sought to improve efficiency and power. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the history of railway engineering and the evolution of the Star Class locomotives. The North Star, with its original Atlantic wheel arrangement, stands as a reminder of the ingenuity and innovation that shaped the railway industry over a century ago.
