Devon Sea Wall Section part I

Cockwood Harbour is argueably the most photographed location in the country. Here in absolute perfect conditions 47832 comes by with 1C44 1403 Paddington to Plymouth. The sun is out, the tide is in and a loco hauled passenger train crosses the bridge, plenty of small boats are tied up, the low bridge means nothing too big can access the inlet.

A down freight working crosses the embankment with 60066 at the head of 6V70 0857 Cliffe Vale to St Blazey empty china clay tanks and vans.

A Virgin loco hauled cross country working creates a colourful scene with the red train against the blue sky and water with the boats moored up. The train is 1V50 0840 Glasgow Central to Penzance. This is diesel hauled from Preston via Manchester and Bristol with 47849 coming on at Preston replacing the electric loco that brought the train in from Glasgow. A great end to a great day.
