EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases Locomotive No. 173, affectionately known as the "City of Manchester," built in 1886 for the London and North Western Railway (LNWR). A true testament to the engineering prowess of the late 19th century, this steam locomotive is a marvel of the rail transportation era. The City of Manchester, with its ornate detailing and elegant design, is a Western type 2-2-2 Atlantic locomotive. Its powerful presence is accentuated by the intricate latticework of its boiler and the prominent LNWR lamp atop its smokebox. The locomotive's nameplate, proudly displaying its number and moniker, adds a personal touch to this magnificent machine. The photograph captures the City of Manchester in its natural habitat – the railway. The steam billowing from its chimney, the sparks flying from its wheels, and the tracks stretching into the distance all contribute to the sense of motion and power. The rugged terrain and the vast, open sky in the background further emphasize the grandeur and freedom of the railway. This image is a testament to the romance and adventure of the railways during the Victorian era. The City of Manchester, with its timeless beauty and engineering brilliance, continues to captivate us and transport us back to an era of innovation, progress, and wonder.
