					<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;re hugely grateful to Howard Sprenger of Kestrel Railway Books for sending us a previously unknown photo of the Malta Railway (above). It&#8217;s a lovely alternative angle on Valletta station scanned from a glass lantern slide, with some important detail that helps date it. A train is just pulling into the recently extended station platform [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Some unashamed use of Ai here. The intention behind this gallery was to give some life to some historic monochrome views, and to bring some composite photos together in an engaging and convincing manner. The composites bring together modern or historic photographs with collaged elements from other historic railway images. The concept is not new; [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Two photographers were out on the 28th February 1883 to record the inauguration of the Malta Railway. The sequence of photographs they took of the first train arriving at Notabile station are an invaluable record. We know there were two, because one of them appears in a photo taken by the other! With the tripod [&#8230;]]]></description>

He was carried in procession from Mtarfa barracks to Museum station in a karozzin hauled by his own soldiers and accompanied by ranks of hundreds more. This photo, another from my friend in the Malta Study Circle, shows a [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[This is a lovely insight into the early days of the Malta Railway from the Globe newspaper in England. Although written in March 1883, it describes a trial-run and the testing of the line before it opened for traffic on Feb 28th the same year. The test train is described as being formed of two [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[This photos is likely to have been taken before the official opening in late February that year. It&#8217;s not the first official train to run on the line, that was hauled by two engines, but the presence of a British engineer on the footplate suggests it was one of several trains used to test the [&#8230;]]]></description>

The small gang of young hawkers sit chatting round a bench in the low winter sun.

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>

This starts at 4:20 in the morning and shows the morning rush hour before a more relaxed timetable begins at 10am. There were two trains running at any one time. A shuttle train runs backwards and [&#8230;]]]></description>

The engine looks strangely lonely without a soul to be seen on Valletta station platform. The article describes how engine No.1&#38;2 were still occupied on lighter daily services of five or [&#8230;]]]></description>
