The focal point of this image is the magnificent Moorish Arch at Edge Hill, which stands as a testament to both architectural brilliance and technological progress. As we gaze upon this scene, we are transported back to an era when steam trains were revolutionizing transportation. The railway station platform bustles with activity as passengers eagerly await their journey aboard the impressive steam locomotive. The billowing smoke from its engine fills the air, adding an element of drama to the composition.
