50040, 12.20 Penzance-London Paddington, Cowley Bridge junction As the farmer in the adjacent field attempts to 'make hay while the sun shines' 50040 'Centurion' is seen approaching Cowley Bridge Junction with the 12.20 Penzance to London Paddington getting up to speed after its stop at Exeter St. David's. Cowley Bridge is the point where the present day Tarka Line diverges off towards Barnstable. In the past, it was a much busier junction as the former LSWR line also diverged here as it continued west being an alternative and, some say, a better route to the rest of Devon and Cornwall. This image clearly illustrates the shocking state that the class 50s had been allowed to get in prior to their extensive overhaul at Doncaster Works. Not only is 50040 in poor external condition but it is smoking badly as it gets up to speed. Keywords: 50040 12.20 Penzance-London Paddington Cowley Bridge junction
