EDITORS COMMENTS

This print takes us back to the year 1959, offering a glimpse into the bustling Gloucester Central Station in Gloucestershire. The image beautifully captures the unique curvature of the platforms, showcasing the intricate design of this historic transportation hub. Standing proudly in front is locomotive No. 1409, exuding power and elegance as it prepares for its next journey. Gloucester Central Station has a rich history, originally opening its doors as a terminus in 1840 for the Birmingham and Gloucester Railway. Over time, it evolved into a vital junction for various railway companies, including the renowned Great Western Railway (GWR). This led to an intricate station layout that accommodated both standard and broad gauge trains. In this snapshot from yesteryear, we are also treated to a view of the water tank – an essential feature that ensured these mighty locomotives were always ready for action. It serves as a reminder of how steam-powered engines relied on water to generate their incredible strength and speed. Transport enthusiasts will undoubtedly appreciate this remarkable piece of history preserved by STEAM Museum of GWR. Through this photograph, we are transported back in time to witness not only the architectural beauty but also experience firsthand what life was like at Gloucester Central Station during one vibrant moment in 1959.
