Caption | Built in 1864, A class, 4-4-0T. Metropolitan Railway is the predecessor of today's Metropolitan Line of London's underground railroads, serving essentially the northwest of the Greater Agglomeration. In the vicinity of the core city, the lines run largely underground - hence the "condensing apparatus", which helped to alleviate the steam plague in the tunnels. Isolated parts of the Metropolitan Line remained with steam traction until the later 1950s, but the machine pictured may have long since gone the way of old iron by this time |
Caption (German) | Baujahr 1864, A class, 4-4-0T. Metropolitan Railway ist die Vorläufergesellschaft der heutigen Metropolitan-Line der Londoner Untergrund-Bahnen, sie bedient im Wesentlichen den Nordwesten der Gross-Agglomeration. In der Nähe der Kernstadt verlaufen die Linien weitgehend unterirdisch – deshalb der "condensing apparatus", die die Dampfplage in den Tunnels zu mindern half, vereinzelte Teile der Metropolitan Line verblieben bis in die späteren 1950er-Jahre mit Dampftraktion, doch dürfte die abgebildete Maschine zu diesem Zeitpunkt längst den Weg alten Eisens gegangen sein |
