EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the National Railway Museum takes us back to a historic moment in Devon, 1894. The image showcases the sheer power of nature as a Great Western Railway passenger train fearlessly traverses down a flooded track at Creech Cutting. The nearby river had overflowed, causing water to engulf the railway line. In this remarkable snapshot, we witness the audacity and determination of both engineers and passengers alike. Despite the deep waters that threatened their journey, the train continued its course along the submerged tracks. However, this display of bravery was not without risk. The photograph serves as a reminder of the perilous conditions faced by these early rail travelers. With every passing moment, there loomed an imminent danger that part of the track or ballast had been washed away by raging floodwaters – potentially leading to disastrous consequences such as derailment. This historical artifact transports us back in time and allows us to appreciate both human resilience and Mother Nature's unpredictable forces colliding on that fateful day in Devonshire over a century ago. It is through images like these that we gain insight into our past while acknowledging how far we have come in ensuring safer journeys for all who travel on railways today.
