EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Men Of Power" we are transported back to the bustling central control room at Newcastle Central Station on a crisp autumn day in 1970. The image captures a pivotal moment in the region's railway history, as a large group of dedicated men sit diligently at their desks, surrounded by an intricate web of telephones and control panels. These men, entrusted with immense responsibility, guide the railways through the entire region from this very room. Their expertise ensures that every journey is safe and efficient for countless passengers relying on public transport. It is fascinating to witness their unwavering focus as they navigate through the complexities of managing train schedules and coordinating operations. The scene exudes an air of authority and camaraderie among these men who share a common purpose - keeping the wheels of transportation turning smoothly across Newcastle's vast rail network. Although it may strike us today as a predominantly male domain, it reflects the era when women were gradually beginning to make strides into traditionally male-dominated industries. This remarkable snapshot from Memory Lane Prints allows us to appreciate not only the technological advancements but also pays homage to those unsung heroes behind-the-scenes who played vital roles in shaping our modern transportation system. As we gaze upon this historic photograph, we can't help but marvel at how far we have come since that memorable day in October 1970 when these "Men Of Power" guided trains along their tracks with precision and dedication.
