EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the iconic Dicker Houghton 6042 locomotive, a beloved relic of railway history, proudly displayed at the American Express Community Stadium in Brighton and Hove, home of Brighton and Hove Albion Football Club. The steam engine, with its distinctive green and cream livery, stands as a testament to the rich heritage of transport history that intertwines with the city's football culture. The Dicker Houghton 6042, originally built in 1959, was one of the last steam locomotives to be used regularly on British Railways before the transition to diesel and electric trains. Its retirement from active service in the late 1960s marked the end of an era, but its preservation and restoration ensured that future generations could still marvel at the engineering prowess of the past. The engine's presence at the football stadium is a nod to the strong connection between railways and football in the UK. In the early days of the sport, trains were the primary mode of transportation for fans traveling to matches, and the two industries have remained intertwined ever since. The Dicker Houghton 6042, with its powerful presence, serves as a reminder of this historical relationship and adds to the unique character of the Brighton and Hove Albion Football Club's home. This photograph not only captures the beauty and history of the Dicker Houghton 6042 locomotive but also highlights the importance of preserving the past for future generations to appreciate and learn from. The engine's placement at the American Express Community Stadium is a testament to the enduring bond between football and railway history and the pride that both hold for the city of Brighton and Hove.
