50005, 13.20 Paignton-London Paddington, Whiteball 
 50005 'Collingwood' slogs up the western side of Whiteball bank leading the 13.20 Paignton to Paddington service. It is about to pass the home signal with the entrance to the down loop seen to the left. Standing in the quiet Devon countryside at this location, the approach of up expresses could be heard from a fair way off due to them having to work hard ascending the bank. By the time they reached this spot speed had dropped off significantly as they would then enter the tunnel behind where I am standing.
