EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the STEAM Museum of the GWR takes us back to 1938, offering a glimpse into the meticulous efforts made by the Great Western Railway (GWR) to maintain smooth running services. In an era where unwanted weeds and foliage posed a threat to railway tracks and tracksides, the GWR devised an ingenious solution - their very own weedkilling train. At first glance, we see GWR Weedkilling Train tender W82 standing proudly on the tracks. This unique train consisted of not only an engine but also three tenders that played a crucial role in its operation. The tenders were specifically designed to hold water while another separate tank contained the potent weedkilling solution. Together, they formed a formidable team against nature's encroachment. The photograph captures one of these tenders as it sprays out jets of this powerful concoction onto the tracks behind it. With precision and efficiency, every inch is covered with this magical elixir that ensures safe passage for trains and passengers alike. Beyond its historical significance lies a testament to human ingenuity in tackling challenges faced by industries such as transportation during that time period. It serves as a reminder of how even seemingly small details like weed control played vital roles in maintaining efficient operations for railways. As we admire this remarkable image, let us appreciate both the aesthetic beauty captured within it and acknowledge those unsung heroes who worked tirelessly behind-the-scenes to keep our railways safe from unwanted intruders – weeds!
