The Class 50 and the Mk. II stock is the most modern pieces of railway hardware in evidence here at the eastern end of Taunton station! The wet and very dull scene is full of Great Western infrastructure and illustrates an era of the railways now long confined to history. There are so many things to take one's fancy here but my favourite has to bthe corrugated iron tin hut that appears to be still painted in some variant of chocolate and cream. 50029 'Renown' brings the 1B22 17.32 Paddington to Penzance into the station. This picture is courtesy of Graham, this slide did not make the final cut in his collection.
