EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Great Western Railway (GWR) Weedkilling Train in action during the year 1938. The meticulous maintenance of the GWR's extensive railway network was of utmost importance to ensure the smooth running of their services. Weeds and unwanted foliage posed a significant threat to the tracks, potentially causing derailments and delays. To combat this issue, the GWR employed specialized weedkilling trains. These trains typically consisted of an engine and three tenders. The tenders held copious amounts of water, which was combined with the weedkilling solution stored in a separate tank. The solution was then distributed evenly onto the tracks through powerful jets mounted at the rear of the train. The GWR's weedkilling trains were instrumental in keeping the railway lines free of intrusive vegetation, thus ensuring the safety and efficiency of their services. The use of these trains was a testament to the railway's commitment to maintaining the highest standards of operation and passenger experience. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the behind-the-scenes workings of the GWR during the era of steam power. The intricate details of the train, from the tenders to the jets, illustrate the innovative solutions employed by the railway to tackle the challenges of maintaining a vast network of tracks and ensuring the continued success of their services.
