EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the STEAM Museum of the GWR, we are transported back to October 1971, where former Railway Queen Mabel Kitson is beautifully captured alongside the majestic King Class locomotive, King George V. During H. P Bulmer's return to steam tour in Hereford, Mabel found herself at the center of attention once again. Having been crowned Railway Queen in 1927 at a tender age of 15, her love for trains and dedication to the railway industry had never wavered over the years. As she stands elegantly beside King George V, two young enthusiasts eagerly present her with a vibrant bouquet of flowers. Their admiration for Mabel's remarkable journey within the railway community is evident in their beaming smiles. This snapshot encapsulates not only a moment frozen in time but also pays homage to Mabel Kitson's enduring legacy as an ambassador for railways. Her reign as Railway Queen symbolizes passion and devotion that transcends generations. The photograph serves as a reminder of how individuals like Mabel played an integral role in preserving and celebrating our rich railway heritage. It captures both nostalgia for a bygone era and inspiration for future generations who will continue to cherish these magnificent machines that have shaped our history
