Memories of long and hot summer holidays! 50043 'Eagle' passes Dawlish on the 1B74 12.23 Paddington to Penzance working. This classic location shows clearly the site of the February 2014 sea wall collapse. The most badly damaged area affected the properties in the mid-distance just beyond the rear coach of the train on Sea Lawn Terrace. This is also the point where the infamous photographs of the track swinging in mid-air were taken.
