This extraordinary image captures the covert journey of these two esteemed figures as they are discreetly transported to America for the grand Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Centenary celebrations. The photograph showcases an intriguing blend of regal elegance and industrial might. The imposing figure of King George V stands tall, his presence commanding respect even amidst the towering machinery that surrounds him. By his side, North Star exudes power and grace, symbolizing Britain's pioneering spirit in railway engineering. As they remain tethered on board the SS Chicago City, one can only imagine the anticipation building within both men. Their arrival in America would mark a significant milestone not only for British royalty but also for transatlantic relations and technological advancements. This snapshot serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of steam-powered transportation during an era when railroads were at their zenith. Preserved by STEAM Museum of GWR (Great Western Railway), it reminds us of our rich heritage rooted in innovation, craftsmanship, and international cooperation.
