Castle Class 4-6-0 locomotive, No. 4094
Castle Class 4-6-0 locomotive, No.4094 Dynevor Castle, hauling the Ocean Liner Express from Plymouth Millbay to Paddington. The three leading vehicles are 70ft Ocean Mails storage vans, although they appear to have been demoted as there is no legend on the lower panels, and they are probably conveying passengers luggage. This view was taken at Sonning Cutting, Maurice Earlys favorite location. The bridge in the distance carries the A4

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic Castle Class 4-6-0 locomotive, No. 4094 Dynevor Castle, as it powers through Sonning Cutting with sheer elegance and power. The locomotive is seen in action, hauling the prestigious Ocean Liner Express from Plymouth Millbay to Paddington. In this remarkable image, three leading vehicles can be observed - the 70ft Ocean Mails storage vans. However, their role seems to have changed as there is no longer a legend on their lower panels. It is likely that these vans are now being utilized for conveying passengers' luggage instead of mail. Sonning Cutting holds special significance in railway enthusiast Maurice Early's heart as his favorite location to capture mesmerizing moments like this one. The picturesque bridge in the distance gracefully carries the A4 road above, adding an extra layer of charm to this already enchanting scene. This extraordinary photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also encapsulates the grandeur and romance associated with steam-powered transportation during its heyday. It serves as a testament to the rich history and technological advancements of railways while evoking a sense of nostalgia for bygone eras when trains were at the forefront of travel and adventure.
