Castle Hedingham No. 61614 Steam Locomotive: A Vintage Snapshot of Railway History This photograph, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back in time to the golden age of railways. The image showcases Castle Hedingham No. 61614, a magnificent steam locomotive that once roared down the tracks of England's railway network. The Castle Class locomotive, named after R.C. Castle, the Chief Mechanical Engineer of the Great Western Railway (GWR), was a popular and successful design. Introduced in 1859, these locomotives were known for their robustness and versatility, serving the GWR until the late 1960s. In this photograph, Castle Hedingham No. 61614 is captured in all its glory, with its intricate design elements on full display. The locomotive's Victorian and Edwardian influences are evident in its ornate details, from the curved boiler to the tall chimney and the large, gleaming wheels. The engine's number plate, 61614, adds a sense of individuality and history to the machine. The setting of the photograph further emphasizes the nostalgic charm of the scene. A station or platform can be seen in the background, with its quaint station buildings and railway workers clad in their traditional uniforms. The use of a lantern slide adds to the vintage feel, as if the image has been preserved from an earlier era. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the romance and grandeur of steam locomotives and the railway era. It is a testament to the ingenuity and innovation of the time, as well as a reminder of the rich history that continues to inspire and captivate us today.
