GWR steam train in the Dart Valley
A 'Prairie' tank engine is hauling a single-coach 'auto-train' (push-pull train) back towards Buckfastleigh from Totnes on what is now known as the South Devon Railway. LinkExternal link. Picture taken February 2013
A fascinating contrast with the 1969 picture SX7564 : Train in the Dart valley, 1969: The engine in the 2013 picture is roughly where the left-hand end of the train is in the 1969 shot. Farming practices have changed too - some hedges grubbed out, wider access gates for bigger machinery, etc.
