In the early morning summer sun, 50021 'Rodney' makes a heck of a racket as it ascends Whiteball from the west with the 06.24 Penzance to London Paddington. This picture is taken from a field close to where I camped just behind the signal box. This was a very remote and quiet spot with just the sounds from the signal box for company. The small village of Burlescombe can be seen in the background above the bridge.
