EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the No. 5928 Haddon Hall, a 4-6-0 Hall Class locomotive, as it makes a stop at Treffgarne, Pembrokeshire on the 8th of August, 1946. The steam engine, built in 1933, was named after Haddon Hall, a historic manor house in Derbyshire. The scene at Treffgarne station is one of tranquility and nostalgia, as the train, known as the down Fishguard Boat train, waits for its next passengers. The engine's powerful presence is a stark contrast to the lush greenery and gentle rolling hills in the background. The steam billowing from the chimney creates an ethereal effect, adding to the romantic allure of the bygone era of steam rail travel. The No. 5928 Haddon Hall was part of the Great Western Railway's (GWR) fleet, which was renowned for its advanced steam locomotives. This particular engine was known for its impressive power and efficiency, making it a popular choice for long-haul passenger and freight services. The photograph provides a glimpse into the past, offering a window into a time when steam trains were the primary mode of transportation and the sound of their whistles were a familiar part of daily life. Today, the No. 5928 Haddon Hall is preserved and maintained at the Steam Museum of the GWR, where it continues to captivate and inspire visitors with its rich history and engineering prowess.
