EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photograph, sourced from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back in time to the Dawlish broad gauge railway in England during the late 19th century. Broad gauge railways, characterized by their wider track width of 7 ft 0 in (2,134 mm), were a significant precursor to the standard gauge railways that would eventually dominate the railway network. The image showcases a lantern slide, a popular medium for projecting photographs during the era, capturing the essence of the Dawlish broad gauge railway in its prime. The railway line stretches out into the distance, hugging the rugged coastline of Devon, with the azure sea in the background. The intricate details of the railway infrastructure are on full display, from the iron tracks and wooden sleepers to the steam engine puffing away in the distance. The photograph also offers a glimpse into the daily life of the railway workers and passengers during that time. People can be seen milling about on the platform, some carrying luggage, while others are engrossed in conversation. The steam engine, with its tall smokestack billowing out plumes of smoke, adds a sense of energy and motion to the scene. The Dawlish broad gauge railway was a marvel of engineering during its time, and this photograph serves as a testament to its historical significance. It offers a unique perspective into the past, allowing us to appreciate the ingenuity and determination of those who built and operated the railway, as well as the beauty of the natural surroundings that continue to captivate visitors to this day.
