EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured on 22nd October 1986, we see three passionate railway enthusiasts, Derek Cowan, Eric Maxwell, and Neil Morgan taking a well-deserved break from their tireless track-laying efforts. Dressed in their trusty overalls and surrounded by the tools of their trade - a transport crane and rails - these dedicated individuals were extending the Tanfield Model Railway to East Tanfield village in Derwentside. The image transports us back to the vibrant era of the 1980s when public transport and trains played an integral role in our daily lives. These three men embody the spirit of adventure and dedication that characterized railway enthusiasts during this time. Their faces reflect both exhaustion from their laborious work yet also a sense of fulfillment as they pause for a moment amidst their journey. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, it is impossible not to appreciate the immense effort put forth by these unsung heroes who worked tirelessly behind-the-scenes to ensure smooth journeys for countless passengers. The photo serves as a reminder of how crucial railways have been throughout history, connecting communities and facilitating travel across vast distances. This remarkable photograph taken by NCJ captures not only a specific moment but also preserves an important chapter in transportation history. It reminds us that even seemingly mundane tasks like track-laying hold great significance within the grand tapestry of human progress.
