EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the Isle of Wight Railway circa 1936. The star of the image is none other than the iconic Terrier Loco W. 9, faithfully operating during its Southern Railway days. Here, we witness a remarkable moment as this magnificent steam train is being turned at Bembridge Station. The photograph, part of the Ronald Shephard Railway Collection housed at West Sussex Record Office, offers a glimpse into an era when locomotives were not just modes of transportation but symbols of progress and adventure. The Terrier Loco W. 9 stands proudly against the backdrop of a bygone landscape, exuding power and elegance simultaneously. As we delve into this snapshot from history, it becomes evident that every detail has been meticulously preserved – from the intricate design on the locomotive's exterior to the surrounding architecture that transports us straight into 1930s Britain. This image serves as a testament to both human ingenuity and engineering prowess; it reminds us how railways once connected communities and fueled economic growth across regions like Bembridge on the Isle of Wight. Through this single frame frozen in time, we are transported back to an age where steam trains reigned supreme and evoked awe among all who witnessed their might. It is indeed a privilege to have access to such historical treasures through institutions like West Sussex County Council's record office – allowing us to appreciate our past while looking towards an ever-evolving future.
