A First Great Western service from London Paddington passes Exmouth Junction in Exeter, powered by 43176 and 43027. This is an unusual route for these trains but the main line through Taunton is closed today while some points are replaced. The track curving away on the right of the picture is the branch line to Exmouth; the line on the left is the remains of Exmouth Junction engine shed which is retained as a turn-back siding for trains which terminate at St James Park station.
