We can almost hear the rhythmic chugging sound as it traverses through valleys and over bridges on its journey across Great Western Railway's vast network. The water troughs at Goring add an interesting element to this photograph – a reminder that even these mighty machines needed replenishment along their routes. These troughs were crucial for refilling their thirsty boilers during long journeys, ensuring they could continue powering ahead with efficiency and grace.
