EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the STEAM Museum of the GWR takes us back to a bygone era, specifically Lostwithiel Station in Cornwall, September 1958. The image showcases a picturesque view of this historic station, with its charming architecture and bustling atmosphere frozen in time. Standing proudly at the platform is locomotive No. 1419, an iconic symbol of the golden age of railways. Lostwithiel Station holds a significant place in history as it opened its doors to passengers in 1859 and served as a vital transport hub for over a century. However, this poignant photograph also serves as a reminder that nothing lasts forever; Lostwithiel Station sadly closed its doors for good in 1964. The sepia-toned hues add an air of nostalgia to this snapshot from the past, transporting us back to the vibrant energy and excitement that once filled these tracks. It's fascinating to imagine what life was like during those times - commuters rushing off trains, families bidding farewell or reuniting on platforms, and steam billowing out from locomotives like No. 1419. This print not only captures an exquisite moment but also preserves an important piece of Cornwall's railway heritage. It invites us to reflect upon how transportation has evolved over time while appreciating the beauty and significance of our historical landmarks such as Lostwithiel Station.
