47082 'Atlas' accelerates away from Teignmouth station, the end of the down platform of which can just be seen, working the 09.00 Paignton to Newcastle service. With the verticals of the bridges appearing to be plumb the extreme camber of the track is clear to see rather than me, the photographer, having tipped the camera! Atlas survived in service until 2007 after being renumbered 47626 being cut up at EMR's facility at Kingsbury. Notice that somebody appears to have purloined the work's plate from just below the second man's window!
