EDITORS COMMENTS
The Flying Scotsman, a legendary steam engine, gracefully glides over the historic Digswell Viaduct in Welwyn Garden City, southern England. This iconic locomotive has just completed its official return after an extensive restoration project that lasted a decade and cost 4.2 million British Pounds ($5.8 million). On February 25,2016, Locomotive 60103 Flying Scotsman embarked on its celebratory 'Inaugural Run' along the renowned East Coast Mainline. The sight of this majestic train passing over the picturesque viaduct is truly awe-inspiring. The restoration efforts have breathed new life into this beloved symbol of British engineering excellence. The meticulous work undertaken by dedicated craftsmen has ensured that every detail of the Flying Scotsman has been faithfully restored to its former glory. As it traverses the tracks once again, nostalgia fills the air as people from all walks of life gather to witness this momentous occasion. The rhythmic chugging sound and billowing plumes of steam evoke memories of a bygone era when steam trains ruled the railways. Eddie Keogh's captivating photograph captures not only the grandeur of this magnificent locomotive but also pays homage to Britain's rich railway heritage. It serves as a reminder that even in our modern world dominated by high-speed technology, there is still room for appreciation and preservation of these timeless marvels.
