EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the powerful presence of Hull & Barnsley Railway Class J Steam Locomotive 2426, as it sits at rest in the yard at Cudworth, Barnsley, Yorkshire, England in 1923. The locomotive, later renumbered LNER No. 2426 by the London and North Eastern Railway after the grouping of British railways in 1923, is a 4-4-0 design, meaning it has four leading and four trailing wheels. This class of engine was designed by Henry Ivison Booth and built between 1898 and 1900 for the Hull and Barnsley Railway Company. The locomotive's large boiler and impressive chimney stack are indicative of the steam power that once drove the railways of the past. The intricate details of the engine's design, from the decorative brass fittings to the intricately patterned valves, are on full display in this image. The engine's number plate, proudly bearing the number 2426, is clearly visible on the side of the tender. This photograph offers a glimpse into the history of railway engineering and the role that steam locomotives played in the transportation of goods and passengers in the early 20th century. The image also provides a glimpse into the industrial heartland of Yorkshire, with the engine's surroundings showing the hustle and bustle of the railway yard and the nearby buildings of Cudworth. The photograph is a testament to the engineering prowess of the past and serves as a reminder of the important role that steam locomotives played in shaping the transportation landscape of the United Kingdom.
