EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the GWR Weedkilling Train Tenders, W85, W84, and W83 in all their glory. These tenders played a crucial role in maintaining smooth running services for the Great Western Railway by ensuring that tracks and tracksides were free from unwanted weeds and foliage. The weedkilling trains of the GWR typically consisted of an engine accompanied by three tenders. Each tender held water which was then mixed with a potent weedkilling solution stored separately. As the train moved along the tracks, this powerful concoction was sprayed out through jets positioned at the back of each tender, effectively eliminating any pesky weeds that dared to grow near the railway lines. With meticulous precision and efficiency, these innovative machines helped preserve optimal track conditions while preventing potential hazards caused by overgrown vegetation. The dedication shown by GWR in maintaining their infrastructure is evident in this remarkable image. As we admire this photograph from STEAM Museum of the GWR, we are reminded of how every detail mattered when it came to providing safe and reliable transportation during those times. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and resourcefulness in finding solutions to challenges faced by one of Britain's most iconic railways – without ever compromising on quality or safety standards.
