EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the mighty 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 of the GWR network for several decades. The 47xx class, also known as the "Night Owl" locomotives, were renowned for their distinctive appearance, with their large round belly tanks and small cab situated towards the rear of the engine. These locomotives were well-suited to the mixed traffic duties they were designed for, efficiently hauling both passenger and freight trains. The Night Owl moniker was given to these engines due to their ability to work late into the night, keeping the railway network operational long after the sun had set. The 47xx class locomotives were a testament to the engineering prowess of their time, with their robust design and impressive power output. This particular engine, No. 4700, bears the rich history of the GWR and the steam era. Its presence at the Steam Museum is a reminder of the golden age of rail travel and the vital role steam locomotives played in shaping the transport landscape of the 20th century. As you gaze upon this photograph, imagine the roar of the engine as it chugs along the rails, the hiss of steam escaping from its domed chimney, and the rhythmic clatter of the wheels against the tracks. The 4700, with its proud stance and steaming stack, stands as a symbol of the enduring allure and romance of the steam railway era.
