16th July 1989

You can hear the "dub-dub" sound from the 16CSVT engine of 50050 "Fearless" as it applies the power at the foot of the incline, at Umborne, just west of Seaton Junction. This is the 13.00 London Waterloo to Exeter St. Davids. It's a glorious summer's day and I have chosen a sheltered spot under the trees close to the River Axe for this shot.
