EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the STEAM Museum of the GWR takes us back to the year 1933, capturing a moment frozen in time. The image showcases the magnificent Carnon Viaduct near Perranwell, Cornwall. This timber viaduct was an architectural marvel that once graced the Falmouth Branch. The viaduct's wooden structure stands tall and proud against a backdrop of lush greenery and rolling hills. Its intricate design is a testament to human ingenuity, as it seamlessly blends with its natural surroundings. The timeworn planks tell stories of countless trains that traversed this path, carrying passengers and goods alike. However, change is inevitable, even for grand structures like this viaduct. In 1933, progress demanded its replacement with a more modern construction. Yet through this photograph, we can still appreciate its beauty and significance in connecting communities across Cornwall. As we gaze upon this snapshot from history, our minds wander to bygone days when steam engines roared across these tracks. We imagine the rhythmic clatter of wheels on timber as trains gracefully crossed over this engineering masterpiece. This print serves as a reminder of not just transportation history but also celebrates human achievement in conquering nature's obstacles. It invites us to reflect on how innovation shapes our world while honoring those who came before us – engineers who dared to dream big and build even bigger.
