Soft late afternoon autumnal light at Cockwood Harbour on 1 November 1997. 150248 passes by with the 14:14 Exeter Central to Paignton service. The fact that this is only a two coach train gives an uninterrupted view of Brunel's Starcross Pumping Station, visible in the background between the trees and the signal. This was part of the Victorian engineer's ill fated atmospheric railway. |
