47089 'Amazon' gets its head as it passes Exminster with the 1B80 08.50 Swansea to Paignton. This photograph was rescued from the reject's box due to it being too underexposed so I have had to do a fair bit of work to make it presentable. 47089 had another seven years in service until ignominiously meeting its end at Chinley after hitting 31440. Both locomotives were never repaired with Amazon being taken to Cooper's metals at Sheffield for final disposal. Notice the M5 viaduct in the background crossing the Exe estuary.
There is an audio recording of this event on my youtube channel, see....
