EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures the essence of the bygone era of steam transport in the 1970s, featuring Burrell General Purpose Engine number 4055, affectionately known as the "Crimson Lady." The engine, registered as VF 1273, is shown proudly on display at Peterborough during the steam rally on August 26, 1973. The Burrell Company, based in Scotland, was renowned for manufacturing high-quality steam wagons and engines between 1827 and 1967. The General Purpose Engine, such as the one depicted here, was a versatile design used for various tasks, including hauling heavy loads, generating electricity, and even providing stationary power. The Crimson Lady, with its distinctive red livery and intricate details, is a testament to the craftsmanship and engineering prowess of the Burrell Company. The steam engine's powerful presence and the billowing clouds of steam evoke a sense of nostalgia for a time when steam power ruled the roads and rails. The 1970s marked the twilight years of steam transport, as diesel and electric engines began to take over. However, steam enthusiasts continued to preserve and celebrate these magnificent machines, organizing rallies and events to showcase their beauty and historical significance. This photograph, taken from The William Kerry Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the past and serves as a reminder of the important role steam engines played in transportation history. The Crimson Lady, with its proud stance and gleaming steam, remains a symbol of the ingenuity, perseverance, and passion of those who kept the steam dream alive.
