EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the STEAM Museum of the GWR takes us back to a significant moment in time - Calne Station, 1957. The image beautifully captures Locomotive No. 4697 as it gracefully departs from this historic station nestled in the picturesque county of Wiltshire. The year is 1957, and the locomotive's powerful presence symbolizes an era when steam engines were at their peak, dominating the railway tracks across Britain. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are transported to a bygone era where train travel was not just a means of transportation but also an enchanting experience. Calne Station itself exudes charm with its quaint architecture and bustling platform filled with passengers bidding farewell or eagerly awaiting loved ones' arrival. This photograph encapsulates that sense of anticipation and adventure that permeated every journey during those golden years. As No. 4697 embarks on its voyage towards Chippenham, one can almost hear the rhythmic chugging sound echoing through the countryside while plumes of steam billow into the sky above. It serves as a reminder of how these magnificent machines connected communities and opened up new possibilities for exploration and commerce. This print is more than just an archival piece; it represents an important chapter in our nation's history when railways were at their zenith. It invites us to reflect on our past while appreciating how far we have come since those halcyon days of rail travel in mid
