Langport West Flooded 3

5525 and its train sails out of Langport West towards Yeovil on the 29th October 1960. Copyright John Cornelius. The signalman can just be seen in his nice dry box, one wonders if the gentleman seen wading his way back to 'terra firma' is a pilotman. One hopes he kept his feet missing all the 'trip hazards' en route. John wisely stays on the platform. The flatness of the area in this direction is evident.
Another 'nautical' photograph tomorrow.

The Devon Belle on its way up the bank. An undated picture. The 'Devon Belle' was timed to leave Ilfracombe at 12.00 arriving at Waterloo five and a half hours later. Although officially a non-stop run, a stop was made at Wilton to change locos. From the crest on the side of the loco it looks like a Battle of Britain class engine that will be adding 31,000 pounds of 'shove' to the back of the train. 'Cynthia' is the name of thePullman coach alongside us. Courtesy Mike Morant Collection. 160709_S_BR_BB_Devon_Belle_Ilfracombe_banker_DKJ
