Those two splendid signal gantries stand guard over the approach to Newton Abbot for up trains, as No. 4936 Kinlet Hall and No. 1021 County Of Montgomery leave with a Manchester to Penzance train. The whistle is blowing on the leading engine and note how, with the sun head-on, much of the motion is lost in the shadows.
