The crew of British Railways Class 9F 2-10-0 steam locomotive number 92203 Black Prince await the signal to depart from Weybourne Station on the North Norfolk Railway while working the 14:45 Holt to Sheringham service. 92203 was built in 1959 and allocated to heavy ore trains on Merseyside but had a very short working life due to BR's policy of rapid dieselisation and was withdrawn in 1967. It was then purchased for preservation by the artist David Shepherd who named it Black Prince. Photograph 'aged' using Alien Skin Exposure software and taken at Weybourne Station, Weybourne, Norfolk, England, on June 23, 2012.
Steam locomotives are fondly remembered for their essential role in the Industrial Revolution and are seen as one of the greatest inventions of all time. But how do they work?

A look into our more recent archive photos unearthed this photo of Head Wrightson Loco No.17 at its original home of Seaham Harbour. You can see an archive photo of No.17 at Seaham here. Curator of Transport Paul Jarman tells us more: We took it back to Seaham after it was cosmetically overhauled to pose it on the dock-side, where it had worked between 1873 and 1962. Whilst the original track has long since corroded or been covered by later concrete, there was as short section we could place it on, with the blessing of the Seaham Harbour Dock Company (one of the engine’s former owners). A number of former Seaham workers, including the engine’s driver, came to see it and we also launched a painting of this engine alongside Lewin (available from the Museum gift shop!). It subsequently returned to Seaham on three occasions, visiting school playgrounds as part of an outreach project. More from Paul at the Beamish Transport Blog.
