EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the summer of 1987, when the iconic City of Wells steam locomotive made a grand entrance at Gateshead railway station. The image perfectly captures the excitement and anticipation in the air as a medium group of people, spanning various age ranges, gather on the platform to witness this historic moment. The majestic steam engine stands proudly amidst a backdrop of rails and platforms, symbolizing both progress and nostalgia. Its billowing smoke adds an element of mystique to the scene, evoking memories of bygone eras when steam trains ruled the tracks. As we delve into this snapshot from Memory Lane Prints, we can almost hear the rhythmic chugging sound and feel the ground tremble beneath our feet. Train spotters eagerly line up along with other members of the public who have come to witness this extraordinary event. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this photograph also serves as a reminder of how railways were once at the heart of public transport systems. It represents not just a single locomotive opening a new travel interchange but also signifies journeys taken by countless individuals throughout history. NCJ's skillful capture allows us to relive those moments where time seemed suspended; where engines like The City of Wells transported us not only physically but emotionally too. This print is truly an ode to an era that will forever hold a special place in our collective memory.
