Vintage Railway Photo
A rare and unique photograph depicting the locomotive engine number 1 of the railway fleet, departing from the historic Famagusta docks in Cyprus on July 1951. This stunning image showcases the rugged beauty of the Cypriot landscape during a pivotal moment in history.
The railway network was a vital lifeline for the island's residents and travelers alike, connecting major towns and cities across the country. The engine number 1 is a Class L4 steam locomotive, built by British Railways in the mid-20th century.
This photograph captures the rugged coastline of Famagusta, with its distinctive red soil hills and rocky outcrops stretching as far as the eye can see. The engine itself is clearly visible, hauling a cargo of goods from one end to the other.
Measuring 6 inches by 4 inches in size, this vintage print is an excellent addition to any railway enthusiast's collection. Printed on high-quality paper with acid-free mounting, it will remain a valuable and iconic representation of Cyprus' industrial heritage.
