Description: SR Bulleid Light Pacific on WR train beside the sea near Dawlish Warren. View along the sea-front towards the Langstone Rock, Dawlish, Exeter etc.: ex-GWR South Devon main line just north of Dawlish. (Cf. SX9473 : Down 'Cornishman' express approaching Teignmouth). To familiarise staff with the alternative ex-GWR and ex-LSWR routes, for many years one train a day between Exeter and Plymouth was worked by engines and crews of the other system. This why a SR engine was working the 11.35 Exeter St Davids - Plymouth North Road. This is Bulleid Light Pacific No. 34038 'Lynton' (built 9/46 as No. 21C138, renumbered 2/49, withdrawn (unrebuilt) 6/66).
