EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the might and grace of 4700, a 2-8-0 mixed traffic locomotive from the 47xx class, proudly displayed at the Steam Museum of the Great Western Railway (GWR). Built in May 1919, this Night Owl locomotive was a common sight on the rails during the early 20th century. The 47xx class, also known as the "Night Owl" locomotives, were renowned for their distinctive appearance and impressive performance. With their large boilers and powerful cylinders, these engines were well-equipped to handle the demanding tasks of hauling heavy freight and passenger trains over long distances. Despite their size and strength, the Night Owls were known for their agility and ability to navigate tight curves and steep gradients with ease. Their name came from their ability to work late into the night, keeping the railways running long after the sun had set. 4700, in particular, is a fine example of this iconic locomotive class. With its polished brass fittings, gleaming copper belly, and immaculate paintwork, this engine is a testament to the dedication and craftsmanship of the engineers who built and maintained it. As you gaze at this photograph, imagine the sights and sounds of a bygone era. Hear the hiss of steam escaping from the chimney, feel the vibrations of the engine as it roars to life, and watch as it disappears into the distance, leaving a trail of smoke and steam in its wake. The Steam Museum of the Great Western Railway is home to an impressive collection of locomotives, but 4700, the Night Owl, is a true standout. A visit to this museum is a must for any railway enthusiast, offering a unique insight into the history and evolution of the steam engine.
