					<description><![CDATA[Something of a curve-ball for the history of the Malta Railway has appeared recently on the internet; a new historical photo has emerged of engine No.4 at Museum station in around 1900 (shown above in a colourised form). Close scrutiny of the details suggest it’s not Ai, but challenges all previously understood history of the [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m on record as disliking colourised photos, mainly because so many turn out so badly. Ai is bad at recognising shapes and forms in black and white, and tends to wash images in inaccurate or wildly peculiar tones. More so now, Ai will try and regenerate the original image, making even more errors and more [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Years after the closure of the Malta Railway remnants littered the former railway yard at Hamrun. Here, surrounded by scrap, Engine No.1 hangs on sandwiching an interloper, a much debased tramcar, against the arch of the 1883 engine shed. This image is in fact a stitch I&#8217;ve produced of two photos, hence the greyed-out areas. [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Until now, there were no known photographs of the third locomotive to enter traffic on the Malta Railway. Manning Wardle-built No.3 arrived in 1883 and continued in service until 1927, but was thought to have alluded the camera for 43 years&#8230; until now. This is a published photo of Museum station, having appeared in the [&#8230;]]]></description>

It&#8217;s certainly not the first, inaugural, train to run on the line, that was hauled by two engines, but the presence of a British engineer on the footplate suggests it [&#8230;]]]></description>

The Malta Railway had three original engines built in the UK by manning Wardle Co of Leeds. As-built in 1882 they were identical, but during Government times the two surviving engines underwent [&#8230;]]]></description>

Extraordinarily, this is dated 1945, suggesting that it survived the entirety of WWII intact. In the background the 1937 Milk factory building is recognisable on [&#8230;]]]></description>
