Churston Viaduct, c 1959 - A Glimpse into the Golden Era of Railways
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph takes us back to the summer of 1959, capturing a moment in time at Churston Viaduct. The focal point is an impressive locomotive from the renowned 41xx class 2-6-2T series, which served as a vital link on the picturesque Devon branch line connecting Newton Abbot to Paignton and Kingswear.
