EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the North Star, a 2-2-2 broad gauge locomotive, standing proudly at Swindon Works in around 1925. Swindon Works, the largest railway works in the world at the time, was the epicenter of Great Western Railway (GWR) innovation and engineering excellence. The North Star, with its distinctive design and powerful presence, is a testament to the skill and dedication of the workforce that brought it to life. The North Star was designed by George Armstrong and George Churchward, two of the most influential figures in GWR's history. This locomotive was part of the Star Class, a series of engines that set new standards for power and efficiency in the railway industry. With its large boiler and powerful cylinders, the North Star was capable of pulling heavy loads over long distances with ease. The photograph was likely taken during the locomotive's construction or maintenance phase, as evidenced by the open doors and workers in the background. The B Road, where the North Star is situated, was the heart of Swindon Works, where the most complex and advanced locomotives were built. The North Star's presence here underscores its significance as a technological marvel of its time. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the past, providing a fascinating insight into the world of steam railway engineering during the early 20th century. The North Star's enduring legacy can still be seen today at the STEAM Museum of the Great Western Railway, where it serves as a reminder of the ingenuity, passion, and dedication of those who shaped the railway industry.
