The end of 1962

THE END of 1962 – PART 12
Plymouth Station
The date is Thursday 27 December 1962. In the morning I made a half day trip to Launceston as described yesterday; and on returning to Plymouth just before noon I stayed at the station to watch proceedings for a short while before heading home for my lunch. After two hours at home eating and warming up I was on my way back to the station to make another half day trip, this time just out to Tavistock South and return, using the same trains as on Christmas Eve described in an earlier part; i.e out at 3.05pm returning at 4.30pm. No photos were taken.
Locos seen that day working on the branch:
6400-class:      6400 and 6430
4500-class:       4555, 4574, 4591, 5564 and 5569
