EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting print captures the ghostly figure of Isambard Kingdom Brunel, lamenting the burial of his beloved invention - the railway broad gauge. In 1859, this visionary engineer introduced a revolutionary new way of laying down tracks, which allowed for faster and more efficient transportation across the kingdom. However, by 1892, due to pressure from rival companies using standard gauge tracks, Brunel's broad gauge was phased out and buried in history.
In this poignant image, we see Brunel standing amidst the remnants of his once groundbreaking creation, looking on with sorrow as it is laid to rest. The ghostly presence of this engineering genius serves as a reminder of his lasting impact on the world of transportation and infrastructure.
As we reflect on this historical moment captured by Mary Evans Picture Library, we are reminded of the importance of innovation and progress in shaping our society. Isambard Kingdom Brunel may no longer be with us in body, but his spirit lives on through his enduring legacy in railway history. Let us honor his memory by continuing to push boundaries and strive for excellence in all that we do.
