EDITORS COMMENTS
This composite photograph, created in 1925, showcases two of the most iconic steam locomotives in railway history: The Rocket, named Locomotion, and The Flying Scotsman, at Darlington Station. The image was produced to celebrate one hundred years of progress in the railway industry. The Rocket, designed by George Stephenson and built in 1829, is considered the father of the modern railway locomotive. Its innovative design revolutionized transportation, making long-distance travel faster and more efficient. The engine on the left side of the composite image is a replica of the original Rocket, which is now on display at the Science Museum in London. The Flying Scotsman, on the right, is another engineering marvel. Built in 1923, it was the first steam locomotive to reach 100 miles per hour, making it a symbol of the Edwardian era's technological advancements. The Flying Scotsman was named after the famous express train that ran from Edinburgh to London, and it continues to be a popular tourist attraction today. The composite photograph was likely taken using a vintage lantern slide, a popular medium for projecting images during the early Victorian and Edwardian eras. The intricate details of the engines and the atmospheric steam are beautifully captured, transporting us back in time to an era of innovation and progress in railway engineering. This image is part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, a valuable resource for historians, railway enthusiasts, and anyone interested in the history of transportation. The composite photograph serves as a testament to the ingenuity and creativity of the railway pioneers, inspiring us to continue pushing the boundaries of what is possible.
