Rain, Steam and Speed - The Great Western Railway, an 1844 oil painting by J. M. W. Turner.
The painting depicts a train of the Great Western Railway crossing the River Thames on Brunel's recently completed Maidenhead Railway Bridge. The bridge, which still stands today, was built to carry two tracks of the then broad gauge railway.
