Kingswear - Exeter stopping train emerging from Kennaway Tunnel at Dawlish.
View southward, towards Newton Abbot and Plymouth/Penzance/Kingswear: ex-GW South Devon main line.
The locomotive is Churchward-design '4500' class No. 4569 (built 10/24, withdrawn 8/64).
In this view, some interest is being taken by the people on the sea-front.

When the PRR's owns shops could not supply locomotives fast enough, the PRR turned to Baldwin, ALCO, and Lima to build PRR designs.
4578 was built in 1923 as class I1s then rebuilt in 1940 as class I1sa.
It was sold for scrap in 1959.
The I1 was one of the most common classes on the PRR.
