EDITORS COMMENTS
The Flying Scotsman, a symbol of British engineering prowess and elegance, departs Kings Cross Station in this photograph from 1935-36. The mighty locomotive, No. 2563 known as 'William Whitelaw', proudly leads the way as one of the renowned A4 class steam engines with its distinctive 4-6-2 wheel arrangement. Published in 'Railway Wonders of the World, Vol. 2' by Amalgamated Press Limited, London, this print captures a moment frozen in time when train travel was at its zenith. The image showcases the grandeur of early 20th-century railway technology against the backdrop of bustling urban life. The vibrant green color of the locomotive stands out amidst the industrial landscape surrounding Kings Cross Station. As it pulls away from the platform, billowing clouds of steam fill the air while onlookers marvel at its power and grace. This photograph not only celebrates Britain's rich railway heritage but also serves as a reminder of an era when trains were synonymous with progress and adventure. It encapsulates both nostalgia for a bygone age and admiration for human ingenuity. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece captured by photographer Cecil J Allen or Clarence Winchester (the authorship remains unknown), we are transported back to a time when railways reigned supreme and dreams took flight on iron tracks.
