EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the early 1900s, capturing a nostalgic scene at Horrabridge Station in Devon. The image showcases a magnificent class 3521 locomotive gracefully entering the station, its powerful presence contrasting with the tranquil surroundings. As we peer closer, we notice passengers eagerly awaiting their train on the platform. Horrabridge Station holds a rich history, having opened its doors to travelers in 1859 as part of the South Devon and Tavistock Railway. For over a century, it served as a vital hub connecting communities and facilitating journeys across picturesque Devon. However, this bustling era sadly came to an end when Horrabridge Station closed its doors to passengers in 1962. The photograph itself is a testament to both engineering marvels and human connection. The imposing locomotive symbolizes progress and innovation while also evoking feelings of awe and admiration for those who built it. Meanwhile, the passengers on the platform represent ordinary people embarking on their own personal adventures or simply going about their daily lives. As we gaze upon this remarkable snapshot from STEAM Museum of GWR's collection, we are transported back in time – immersed in an era where steam trains reigned supreme and stations like Horrabridge were vibrant hubs of activity. It serves as a reminder of our shared past and ignites curiosity about how transportation has evolved since then.
