EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the majestic Torbay Express 4-6-0 Castle class locomotive, number 5043 Earl of Mount Edgcumbe, as it approaches the picturesque seaside town of Teignmouth on the South Devon Railway line. The steam train, operated by the Steam Museum of the Great Western Railway, exudes an aura of nostalgia and romance, transporting us back to a bygone era of rail travel. The Castle class locomotive, designed by Charles Collett in 1923, is renowned for its powerful and efficient performance, making it a popular choice for express passenger services. Number 5043, named after the Earl of Mount Edgcumbe, was built in 1936 and served faithfully on the Great Western Railway until its retirement in 1965. The Torbay Express, a name given to several express trains that ran between London Paddington and Torquay, is depicted here in its full glory as it makes its way along the coastline. The train's polished brass fittings, gleaming engine, and billowing plumes of steam contrast beautifully with the rugged cliffs and crashing waves of the English Channel in the background. This photograph is a testament to the enduring appeal of steam trains and the sense of adventure and discovery they evoke. It invites us to imagine the thrill of travel by steam train, as we watch the Torbay Express disappear into the distance, leaving us longing for the days when the rhythmic chugging of steam engines filled the air and the world seemed just a little bit more magical.
