The fourth and final photograph of 50041 'Bulwark' as it leaves Exeter St. David's for the West Country. As the locomotive, that is leading the 16.25 Paddington to Plymouth, gets smokily away it is about to pass the large and smart-looking Exeter West signal box and the incredible up inner home bracket signals just beyond the bridge crossing the River Exe. As well as supporting the inner homes controlled by the West signal box it has the Middle box's distants and just below them some permissive arms for the movement of empty stock workings back into the station. The photograph is a fitting end to a superb day out!
