GWR Mixed Traffic: The Great Western Railways mixed-traffic classes revolutionised steam locomotive design in Britain. George Jackson Churchward, Chief Mechanical Engineer on the GWR from 1902 to 1922, successfully broke tradition with the introduction of his 43xx Class 2-6-0 moguls. They would go on to influence future locomotive design, not just on the Great Western network, but across the entire national network. Heavy Freight:Though passenger traffic came to play a huge part in the running of the railways, it was the movement of freight that first necessitated the laying of metals. As loads became heavier, the locomotives charged with hauling them grew accordingly. It was a trend that continued throughout the steam era, and one that produced some of the most powerful and rugged engines ever designed.
