EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent L. M. S. 4-6-2 streamlined locomotive, aptly named "Coronation" which symbolized a remarkable era in transportation history. These high-speed locomotives were specifically designed to pull the prestigious Coronation Scot train, covering an impressive distance of 401 miles from Euston to Glasgow in just 6.5 hours. Built as a tribute to honor the coronation of King George VI, these powerful machines embodied both elegance and efficiency. The photograph captures their sleek design and aerodynamic features that allowed them to cut through the air with ease, ensuring a smooth and swift journey for passengers on board. Published in 1937 as part of "The Coronation in Pictures" this archival image takes us back in time when rail travel was at its pinnacle. It serves as a reminder of how London Midland and Scottish Railway (LMSR) revolutionized passenger transport by introducing these state-of-the-art steam locomotives. As we gaze upon this historical gem, we are transported into an era where speed met luxury, where railways connected distant cities with unprecedented efficiency. This print is not only a testament to engineering prowess but also evokes nostalgia for those who appreciate the beauty of old-world transportation
