EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken on 11th May 1896 in the picturesque town of Didcot, Oxfordshire, presents a fascinating glimpse into the past of the Great Western Railway (GWR). The image showcases the "Flying Dutchman," a legendary steam locomotive named No. 3019, Rover, as it approaches Didcot station. The train, adorned with thick plumes of smoke billowing from its chimney, exudes an undeniable sense of power and majesty. Didcot station, which opened in June 1844, can be seen on the left side of the image. The red-brick signal box, a testament to the era's engineering prowess, stands proudly at the station entrance. The station was later renamed Didcot Parkway in July 1985. The "Flying Dutchman" was a popular name given to several steam locomotives on the GWR due to their distinctive appearance, which seemed to evoke the mythical ghost ship of the same name. This particular locomotive, No. 3019, was built in 1895 and was known for its impressive speed and performance. The photograph offers a unique window into the 1890s, a time when steam power reigned supreme in transportation. The image captures the essence of a bygone era, when the rhythmic clatter of trains and the hiss of steam were the soundtrack to daily life. This photograph is a treasure trove of history, transporting us back in time to an age of steam, engineering marvels, and the romance of the railway.
