Steam, Steel and Spectacle – Photographing The Greatest Gathering in Derby
Derby was truly the heart of the railway world this past weekend as it hosted The Greatest Gathering—the largest collection of old and new trains ever assembled globally. As an event photographer passionate about heritage and storytelling, this was a dream assignment.
From gleaming steam engines to futuristic rail technology, every corner of the event was packed with awe-inspiring machines and the people who love them. Families, railway enthusiasts, and industry professionals gathered to witness a once-in-a-lifetime celebration of train history and innovation. Capturing the details—from intricate metalwork on restored locomotives to the wonder on children's faces—was a joy.
The event not only celebrated engineering excellence but also connected generations through a shared passion for rail. Held in the historic city of Derby, the location added depth and authenticity to every shot, making the photographs all the more powerful.
