EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the National Railway Museum takes us back to the bustling Edinburgh Waverley Station in the 1950s. From a bird's eye view, we are treated to a stunning panoramic shot of this iconic station, with the magnificent cityscape serving as its backdrop. The image captures the essence of an era when steam locomotives were still at their prime. In the foreground, our attention is immediately drawn to Class B1 4-6-0 steam locomotive No 61403 as it gracefully departs on a local journey towards Fife. Its powerful presence exudes both elegance and strength against the vibrant surroundings. To either side of this majestic engine, other B1 locomotives can be seen waiting patiently for their turn to embark on their respective journeys. As we shift our gaze beyond the station platform, three trams gracefully glide across North Bridge - a sight that dates this photograph prior to November 1956 when trams ceased operation in Edinburgh. These trams add an extra layer of nostalgia and charm to an already enchanting scene. This remarkable print not only showcases Edinburgh Waverley Station's architectural grandeur but also transports us back in time, allowing us to witness firsthand how transportation has evolved over decades. It serves as a testament to Scotland's rich railway history and reminds us of how these magnificent machines shaped society during that era.
