Taken from the B3092 road bridge south out of Frome 47478 is seen leading the 12.30 Paddington to Paignton. I was probably disappointed to see a class 47 on this working hoping for a class 50. It has just passed an up Foster Yoeman stone train, complete with its customary trail of dust, that was headed by 47119. The down-home signal for Blatchbridge Junction is seen on the wrong side of the line for sighting purposes due to the sharp left-hand curve. At this time, both 47s were Western Region based, the former at Old Oak Common and the latter at Cardiff Canton, neither of are with us today,
