EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of a bygone era in railway history, as No. 7029 Clun Castle, a majestic 4-6-0 Castle class locomotive, bids farewell to Bristol Temple Meads station in 1966. The scene is set against the backdrop of the iconic red-brick Victorian architecture of the station, with its ornate canopies and intricate ironwork. The platform is filled with an excited and expectant crowd of railway enthusiasts and onlookers, all eager to catch a glimpse of this legendary steam engine up close. The air is thick with anticipation and the faint scent of coal and oil, a testament to the raw power and energy that defines the steam age. No. 7029, with its gleaming brass fittings, polished boiler, and intricate engineering, is a sight to behold. Its powerful presence dominates the frame, dwarfing the figures of the railway staff and passengers in the foreground. The steam billows from its chimney, creating a veil of mist that adds to the romantic allure of this final chapter in the story of steam rail travel. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the passion and dedication that railway enthusiasts have for these magnificent machines. It also serves as a testament to the enduring appeal of the steam age, which continues to captivate and inspire us to this day. The Farewell to Steam event at Bristol Temple Meads station in 1966 marked the end of an era, but it also marked the beginning of a new appreciation for the rich history and heritage of the steam railway.
