Having surmounted the summit and passed through the tunnel, 47015 passes Whiteball leading the 1V48 09.35 Liverpool to Paignton service. The Class 47 would have taken over this train at Birmingham New Street with an AC electric having hauled the service to there from Liverpool. This lovely open view from a very quiet overbridge at Whiteball that reveals the down loop is all but impossible today with rampant tree growth having all but obliterated virtually everything seen here.
