EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the majesty and power of Marshall General Purpose Engine number 52367, affectionately known as Mary Marshall, during a stop at Northampton on the 6th of August 1972. The engine, with its distinctive red and black livery and intricate details, is a prime example of the industrial artistry of the steam transport era. The Marshall General Purpose Engine, registration number NM 182, was a versatile and indispensable workhorse of the railway system during the 1970s. With its robust design and impressive capabilities, it was well-suited for various tasks, from hauling freight trains to providing locomotive support on passenger services. Mary Marshall, like her sister engines, was a testament to the ingenuity and resilience of the steam transport industry, which continued to thrive despite the encroachment of diesel and electric power. The photograph, taken during the golden age of steam, offers a glimpse into a bygone era when steam engines ruled the rails and the rhythmic clatter of their wheels against the tracks was a familiar sound in the landscape. The William Kerry Collection, from which this photograph is sourced, is a treasure trove of historical images that capture the essence of the 1970s and the steam transport industry. This image of Mary Marshall at Northampton is a poignant reminder of the romance and nostalgia that surrounds the era of steam transport and the enduring allure of these magnificent machines.
