The Flying Scotsman - the world's most famous train - booklet issued by the LNER, 1925 - cover by H G Gawthorn by mikeyashworth, via Flickr Old Posters, Flying Scotsman, Train Posters, Transportation Poster, Postal Vintage, Railway Posters, Deco Poster, Train Art, Old Trains

As early as 1925 the London & North Eastern Railway were cannily marketing both the locomotive Flying Scotsman (4472) and the named train service - it certainly probably was a contender for the confident assumption that it was the most famous train in the world. The cover artwork is very potent - worked up by Harry Gawthorn, a well-known commercial artist who also did many posters for the company.

Long before a network of automobile highways crisscrossed the nation, the continent was conquered by rail. On May 10, 1869, the ceremonial driving of a golden spike at Promontory Summit, Utah, signalled the completion of America’s first transcontinental railroad. “May God continue the unity of our Country,” an inscription on the spike read, “as this Railroad unites the two great Oceans of the world.” Golden Spike National Historic Site, Transportation Posters, Transcontinental Railroad, Train Illustration, Golden Spike, Train Posters, Travel Advertising, Railway Posters, Oceans Of The World
