Back to the station today to see the final down Torbay Express of the season. A fair turnout once again this morning for the King - running with a 'Past Time Rail' headboard rather than the usual 'Torbay Express'. Every week this year we've had the same locomotive, which has made things a little less interesting. Still a highlight of Sunday though to watch this train pass. Having tried lots of different photographic spots this time, settled on the Walrow bridge, and improved on my previous efforts from here.
Walked down again this evening to watch the up working. There is still something spine-tingling about hearing the distant whistle and the incredible noise the King makes as it approaches.
As I always say, now Summer is officially over.

I've had a home on the web for more years than I care to remember, and a few kind souls persuade me it's worth persisting with keeping it updated. This current incarnation of the site is centred around the blog posts which began back in 1999 as 'the daylog' and continued through my travels and tribulations during the following years.
I don't get out and about nearly as much these days, but I do try to record significant events and trips for posterity. You may also have arrived here by following the trail to my former music blog Songs Heard On Fast Trains. That content is preserved here too.
