   • 1957 July, C. Hamilton Ellis, “Six Decades of Locomotives”, in Railway Magazine, page 471:

     In the present writer's opinion there was no greater and more successful locomotive engineer in the country, during the first quarter-century, than George Jackson Churchward of the Great Western Railway.
