EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the STEAM Museum of the GWR transports us back in time to witness a momentous event in railway history. The image showcases Castle Class locomotive No. 7024, affectionately known as Powis Castle, as it embarks on its final down Bristolian service. With an incredible speed of 99.5mph, this powerful machine leaves behind a trail of awe and admiration. Built in June 1949, Powis Castle stands tall and proud against the backdrop of its namesake castle. Its majestic presence symbolizes the golden age of steam locomotives that once dominated our railways. This photograph encapsulates both the beauty and raw power that these magnificent engines possessed. However, every story must come to an end, and so did Powis Castle's journey on February 1965 when it was withdrawn from service. Yet its legacy lives on through images like this one, reminding us of a bygone era filled with excitement and wonder. As we gaze upon this remarkable snapshot frozen in time, we can't help but feel a sense of nostalgia for those days when steam trains ruled the tracks. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and engineering prowess while evoking emotions of adventure and exploration. This print is not just an artifact; it is a window into history—a reminder that even though progress may have moved us forward technologically, there will always be something magical about witnessing these iron giants thundering across our landscapes at astonishing speeds.
