EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 8th of April, 1986, when the iconic steam locomotive, 92220 Evening Star, graced the Grosmont to Pickering line. Steeped in history and significance, this magnificent train holds a special place in British Rail's legacy as it was the last steam locomotive ever built for them in 1960. As we gaze upon this snapshot from Teesside Archive's Memory Lane Prints collection, we are transported to a bygone era where railways were at the heart of transportation. The platform is bustling with anticipation as passengers eagerly await their journey aboard this majestic steam engine. The atmosphere is electric; you can almost hear the rhythmic chugging and feel the billowing clouds of smoke that once filled these stations. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of an era long gone but not forgotten. It symbolizes our collective nostalgia for simpler times when trains were more than just modes of transport - they were symbols of progress and adventure. For two weeks only, on Tuesdays and weekends, Evening Star will traverse these tracks once again to commemorate the Whitby and Pickering Railway's remarkable 150-year milestone. This rare opportunity allows enthusiasts young and old alike to witness firsthand the power and beauty that defined an entire generation. Teesside Archive has captured a moment frozen in time - one that evokes memories of grandeur and awe-inspiring engineering feats. Let this image transport you back to an age where steam engines ruled
