EDITORS COMMENTS
No. 3201 St. Michael, a majestic 4-4-0 Earl Class locomotive, proudly takes center stage in this evocative photograph from the Steam Museum of the Great Western Railway (GWR). This Earl Class locomotive, specifically numbered 3201, was named after the Anglo-Saxon Saint Michael, the Archangel, and is a testament to the rich railway heritage of the GWR. The Earl Class locomotives were designed by George Churchward, the Chief Mechanical Engineer of the GWR, between 1902 and 1903. They were built to replace the older 2800 and 3000 Class locomotives and were renowned for their power, efficiency, and reliability. Number 3201, with its distinctive Earl Class features, such as the large boiler, long smokebox, and large driving wheels, was a common sight on the GWR lines during the early 20th century. This photograph captures the essence of the steam age, with the billowing smoke, the gleaming metalwork, and the sense of motion and power. The locomotive is shown in its natural habitat, surrounded by the lush greenery of the railway tracks, with the steam rising into the clear blue sky. The image is a poignant reminder of the romance and adventure of the steam railway era, a time when travel was a journey to be savored and appreciated. The Steam Museum of the Great Western Railway is a living testament to the history and heritage of the GWR, and this photograph of No. 3201 St. Michael is just one of the many treasured exhibits that transport visitors back in time to an era of steam, steam, and more steam.
