This photograph presents Foster General Purpose Engine 2775, affectionately known as Jane, at Cromford on the 4th of May, 1974. Registration number FW 3333 adorns the side of this magnificent steam engine, which was a vital component of the transport infrastructure during the 1970s. The Foster General Purpose Engine, numbered 2775, was a versatile machine designed for various tasks in the transportation sector. Its robust and powerful design made it an essential asset for industries and railways that relied on steam power during this era. The image captures Jane in her element, emitting thick plumes of steam as she rests at Cromford. The setting, with its lush greenery and picturesque backdrop, adds to the nostalgic charm of this bygone era. The 1970s, often referred to as the 'Me Decade,' were marked by a sense of individuality and innovation.

The William Kerry Collection, from which this photograph is sourced, is a testament to the rich history of transportation and industrial heritage. This image of Foster General Purpose Engine 2775, Jane, is a snapshot of a time when steam power ruled the transportation landscape, and its preservation is essential for future generations to appreciate the engineering marvels of the past.
