40145 passes the site of the marshalling yard and motive depot at Severn Tunnel Junction, as it slows down for the station pickup whilst working the Pathfinder Tours 1Z40 06:29 Tame Bridge Parkway to Kingswear 'Torbay Whistler' railtour on 20 September 2008. The overgrown foreground and waste ground to the left is the site of the extensive marshalling yard, whilst a single building (to the left of the church) marks the site of Severn Tunnel Junction motive power depot. This is probably an appropriate site to take a picture of a Class 40 hauled railtour, as although the class was never common on the Western Region, they were reasonably frequent visitors to this depot. |
