The Devonian Dawlish Devon 22nd October 2011

The Devonian Dawlish Devon 22nd October 2011
Everyone waves at a steam train. On the classic seaside stretch of railway near Dawlish the crowds are happy to see Great Western Railway King 4-6-0 6024 King Edward II double-heading with British Railways Standard Pacific 70013 Oliver Cromwell with the Poole to Plymouth Devonian railtour.

The sea was pounding the sea wall and spraying the track & train as we passed. Note the red sandstone cliffs, of Devonian age, which make this area so attractive.

Best appreciated large.

Not this time but back in 2014 a whole section of track beyond that bridge was washed away in a storm!

They rebuilt the sea wall stronger but nature has a way of getting around man's attempts to control it...

A terrific capture Peter, the sea wall looks somewhat different these days, sadly,
Thank you for posting your image in the group

Thanks a lot Roger. I haven't been through Dawlish for some time so haven't seen the new sea wall. Stronger but no doubt less suited for train-warching I would expect.
