EDITORS COMMENTS
No. 6002 King William IV, a majestic 4-6-0 King Class locomotive built in 1927, is shown here in all its glory as it gracefully hauls the Cornish Riviera Express through the picturesque town of Teignmouth. The steam engine, named after King William IV, the monarch who reigned from 1830 to 1837, is a testament to the grandeur of the bygone era of rail travel. The Cornish Riviera Express, a popular and scenic train journey, takes passengers on a tour of Devon and Cornwall's stunning coastline, showcasing the natural beauty of the region. The train, adorned with elegant carriages, adds to the charm of the journey, making it a must-do experience for railway enthusiasts and tourists alike. No. 6002, with its powerful presence and intricate details, is a sight to behold as it chugs along the tracks, leaving a trail of steam in its wake. The steam engine's impressive design, featuring large driving wheels and a distinctive domed boiler, is a testament to the engineering prowess of the Great Western Railway (GWR) during the early 20th century. The photograph captures a moment in time, preserving the history and romance of the steam age for future generations. The steam engine's rich, deep hue contrasts beautifully with the lush green landscape and the vibrant colors of the carriages, creating a scene that is both timeless and captivating. The STEAM Museum of the GWR is home to an extensive collection of steam engines, rolling stock, and railway memorabilia, offering visitors a unique insight into the history of the Great Western Railway and the golden age of steam travel.
