This photograph showcases the Talyllyn Railway steam locomotive No. 3 Sir Haydn, a 9000 Class 4-4-0 No. 9021, in its prime near the picturesque village of Dolgoch. The Talyllyn Railway, located in the heart of Wales, is the oldest independent railway company in the world, having been established in 1865. The locomotive, named after Sir Haydn Thomas, the Chairman of the Talyllyn Railway Company from 1873 to 1893, is a testament to the rich railway history of the region. The 4-4-0 wheel arrangement, also known as an American type, refers to the four leading and four trailing wheels. This design was popular in the late 19th century due to its ability to provide excellent traction and stability. The image captures the essence of the steam era, with the billowing smoke and steam rising from the engine's stack, creating a mystical atmosphere. The lush greenery and quaint village of Dolgoch in the background add to the charm of the scene. The Talyllyn Railway, with its narrow-gauge tracks and steam-powered locomotives, continues to be a popular tourist attraction, offering visitors a glimpse into the past and a unique railway experience. This photograph, part of The John Barrett Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, is a beautiful reminder of the romance and nostalgia associated with steam trains and the Talyllyn Railway in particular. It is a treasure trove for railway enthusiasts and anyone with an appreciation for the history and engineering marvels of the past.
