EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures Castle Class locomotive No. 7022, affectionately known as Hereford Castle, at Swindon Shed around 1960. The 4-6-0 locomotive, built in 1949, is a testament to the engineering prowess of the Great Western Railway (GWR). The Castle Class, designed by Charles Collett, was an improvement on the earlier 5041 Class and was named after the famous Castle and Express passenger trains that ran on the GWR network. No. 7022 wears its distinctive green livery with yellow and black lining, a colour scheme that was popular during the post-war era. Swindon Shed, located in Swindon, Wiltshire, was the largest locomotive depot in the UK during the steam age. It was the place where thousands of locomotives were maintained, repaired, and overhauled, ensuring they were in top condition for service on the railway network. In this photograph, No. 7022 is seen in the company of other steam locomotives, some of which are being serviced, while others are ready for their next journey. The steam era was a time when the railway was the backbone of the transportation network, and locomotives like Hereford Castle were the unsung heroes that kept the country connected. The photograph provides a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when steam locomotives ruled the rails and the sound of hissing steam and clanking metal were the soundtrack of the railway. Today, this image serves as a reminder of the rich railway heritage that the STEAM Museum of the GWR preserves and celebrates.
