EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back in time to the year 1906 in the picturesque region of Pembrokeshire, South Wales. The image depicts four railway workers, clad in heavy clothing and hats, intently focused on their task at the southern end of the Treffgarne railway workings. The men, identified as navvies, are seen working on the embankment of the Great Western Railway (GWR), with a powerful locomotive, Treffgarne, standing proudly in the background. The locomotive, a testament to the engineering prowess of the era, is a Class GWR 2800 Tank Locomotive, specifically a 2850 Class, numbered 2857. The locomotive, adorned with intricate details and ornate designs, was a common sight on the railways of South Wales during the Edwardian period. The men are carefully manning the locomotive's valves, ensuring the smooth flow of steam and maintaining the balance of the heavy machine. The workers are engaged in cutting the embankment, a critical aspect of railway construction, which required immense physical labor and precision. The safety measures in place are evident, with a man standing at the end of the workings, signaling all clear for the locomotive to proceed. The men's diligent efforts were essential in laying the tracks that would connect communities and facilitate the transportation of goods and people across the region. The image, with its historical significance and intriguing details, offers a glimpse into the manual labor and dedication that went into building the railways of South Wales during the early 20th century. The scene at Treffgarne, Nant Y Coy, is a poignant reminder of the rich railway heritage that continues to captivate and inspire us today.
