EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the early 1900s takes us back in time to witness the vibrant energy of the Newquay to Chacewater branch line in Cornwall. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot, our eyes are immediately drawn to a fast-moving train gracefully gliding along the tracks at Perrancoombe, high above the marshes. The locomotive's powerful presence exudes an air of Victorian grandeur and showcases the remarkable engineering achievements of its era. The photographer behind this mesmerizing image remains unknown, yet their talent for capturing such a dynamic moment is undeniable. Through their lens, they have immortalized a slice of Cornish history that transports us back to a time when steam trains were at the forefront of transportation. The Great Western Railway (GWR) insignia proudly displayed on the locomotive reminds us of its significance as one of Britain's most iconic railway companies. This photograph encapsulates not only GWR's legacy but also highlights Cornwall's rich industrial heritage. As we follow the train's trajectory towards Perranporth, our imagination runs wild with stories and adventures that unfolded along these very tracks over a century ago. It serves as a poignant reminder that progress and innovation have shaped our world while preserving fragments of history like this precious photographic relic. Displayed within Royal Cornwall Museum, this print offers visitors an opportunity to immerse themselves in an era long gone—a testament to human ingenuity and perseverance etched into every rail and rivet captured by that anonymous photographer so many
