EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable No. 1385, John Owen locomotive, a true testament to the rich history of railway engineering. Built in 1872 by Fox, Walker and Co for the Whitland and Cardigan Railway, this magnificent 0-6-0 Saddle Tank locomotive exudes elegance and power. The image captures the essence of a bygone era when steam engines ruled the tracks with their mighty presence. The intricate details of No. 1385 are beautifully preserved in this print, allowing us to appreciate its craftsmanship even after all these years. Originally serving the Whitland and Cardigan Railway, this iconic locomotive found itself under new ownership when it was acquired by the Great Western Railway (GWR) in 1886. This transfer marked an important chapter in its history as it became part of one of Britain's most renowned railway companies. Displayed at STEAM Museum of GWR, this photograph offers a glimpse into an era where railways were lifelines connecting communities across vast distances. It serves as a reminder of how technological advancements have shaped our world today. As we admire No. 1385's striking design and learn about its journey from Whitland to Cardigan under GWR's stewardship, we can't help but feel grateful for those who have worked tirelessly to preserve such historical treasures for future generations to cherish and learn from.
