EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the majestic Burrell Showman's Road Locomotive number 3509 Rajah, proudly displayed at Stafford on the 20th of July, 1974. Registration number G 6469 adorns the side of this historical steam engine, adding to its distinctive character. The Burrell Company, a renowned manufacturer of steam wagons and road locomotives, produced this particular engine during the 1970s, a time when steam power was gradually being replaced by more modern forms of transportation. The 70s were an intriguing period in transportation history, as steam engines continued to hold a special place in the hearts of many, despite their waning practicality. Number 3509 Rajah, named after the Indian monarch, boasts an imposing presence with its robust design and intricate details. The engine's impressive size and power were essential for transporting the various attractions and equipment of traveling shows and fairs. This photograph captures the essence of a bygone era, where steam engines reigned supreme and the thrill of the road show was a cherished experience for families and communities. The Burrell Showman's Road Locomotive number 3509 Rajah stands as a testament to the ingenuity and determination of its creators, as well as the enduring allure of steam power in the face of progress.
