150239, GW 13.43 Plymouth-Newton Abbot (2A63, RT) & 70817, 11.38 Moorswater-Aberthaw (6C36), Newton Abbot station
70817 brings and blast of colour to an otherwise drab
summer's day as it passes through Newton Abbot at some speed with the 11.38 Moorswater to Aberthaw cement tank empties. This is regular twice weekly working that we were keen to see given the dearth of freight on the south west peninsular. 150239 waits at platform two having arrived from Plymouth and terminated.
