EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures the iconic S. R. (Southern Railway) Dover Boat Train ascending Grosvenor Road Bank in all its glory. The powerful locomotive leading the charge is none other than "Sir Gawain" a magnificent engine from the esteemed "King Arthur" class. Departing Victoria at 11 a. m. , this express train was not just any ordinary service; it connected with major Continental routes, including those leading to Switzerland's Winter Sports Grounds and the luxurious "Blue" trains bound for the Riviera. Such was its popularity during peak season that often three sections of this train had to be run simultaneously. The 4-6-0 engine featured in this photograph was built in 1925 by the renowned North British Loco Company under the supervision of Robert Wallace Urie, an esteemed figure in railway engineering at that time. This postcard-worthy image serves as a testament to his expertise and vision. Transport enthusiasts will appreciate how this monochrome snapshot encapsulates Britain's rich railway heritage during the 1930s. It showcases not only a remarkable steam locomotive but also highlights Southern Railway's commitment to providing efficient and seamless transportation options for both domestic and international travelers. Preserved through time, this historic print allows us to marvel at an era when rail travel reigned supreme, connecting people across borders and offering unforgettable journeys filled with adventure and elegance.
