EDITORS COMMENTS

As it traverses the challenging terrain, this powerful engine is seen replenishing its water supply from the troughs using a scoop lowered from the tender. The awe-inspiring backdrop of Shap summit adds to the allure of this image. The demanding four-mile ascent to Shap summit presents a formidable challenge with its steep gradient of 1 in 75 and an elevation reaching an impressive 300 meters above sea level. To conquer this arduous climb while pulling heavy passenger trains, only locomotives with immense strength were up to the task.
