The Railway Centenary in 1925 ......

1825-1925: The Railway Centenary Celebrations at Darlington, 1st to 3rd July 1925 – The Railway Magazine, August 1925

In the year that we mark the bicentenary of the opening of the Stockton & Darlington Railway. I have found a copy of the August 1925 edition of the Railway Magazine which marked the centenary of the opening of that line. .....

A significant proportion of the August 1925 edition of The Railway Magazine was dedicated to coverage of the Centenary celebrations at Darlington. Given the short timescale between the event and the publication date of the August issue of the magazine (?late July?), and given that modern digital techniques were in no way available, the achievement of publication in such a short time is to be admired.

Publication of (for example) August issues of magazines in July is a relatively recent event. Historically (pre circa 1960) an August magazine would probably have been published sometime during August.

A great feature though - thanks for posting. Several of the exhibits are preserved, but pity that many were "lost".

Thank you for your reply, Bevan.
