EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Cornwall Museum takes us back to the year 1900, capturing a mesmerizing scene of the Padstow to Wadebridge branch line in Cornwall. The image showcases a general view towards Padstow railway line, with its tracks stretching into the distance, disappearing into lush greenery and rolling hills. The focal point of this snapshot is undoubtedly the magnificent steam train that approaches from Dennis Hill. Its billowing plumes of smoke create an ethereal atmosphere, transporting us directly into a bygone era when locomotives ruled the railways. The photographer behind this remarkable shot remains unknown, but their talent for capturing such a dynamic moment is undeniable. This photograph not only highlights the beauty of Victorian engineering but also pays homage to Cornish heritage and history. The Great Western Railway (GWR) played a vital role in connecting communities across Cornwall during this time period, facilitating trade and travel throughout the region. As we gaze upon this stunning print, we are reminded of how transportation has evolved over time while appreciating the timeless allure of steam trains against picturesque landscapes. This image serves as both a visual delight and an important historical document that transports us back to an era filled with wonder and innovation.
