EDITORS COMMENTS
The Last Train from Bangor: A Snapshot of Desperation and Overcrowding in Early 20th Century Northern Ireland This evocative photograph, titled 'The Last Train from Bangor,' captures a moment in time from Northern Ireland's rich railway history. Circa 1906, the image depicts a crowded train platform in the town of Bangor, with passengers jostling and reaching out to catch the last train of the day. The steam train, billowing smoke and steam, is ready to depart, leaving behind a sea of determined faces. The photograph exudes a sense of urgency and desperation, as people cling to the train, some even falling in their haste to secure a spot on the overcrowded train. The scene is reminiscent of the daily struggle for survival, as people fought to make their way home or to their next destination. The photograph's title, 'The Last Train from Bangor,' adds an air of finality and importance to the moment. The photograph also offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the transport methods and fashion trends of the time. Men wear flat caps and suits, while women don long skirts and bonnets. The train, with its large steam engine and carriages, is a testament to the engineering marvels of the era. Despite the serious undertones, the photograph also holds a certain humour and fun. The silly and somewhat chaotic scene of people trying to catch the last train is a common experience that can still resonate with us today. The photograph is a valuable historical souvenir, offering a glimpse into the past and reminding us of the human spirit's resilience and determination.
