43093 departs Par after a driver change with the 1315 Penzance - Plymouth. 66093 at the head of 6C10 waits for its path to Exeter Riverside. 12.11.2025, copyright Jon Hird.
With the 'Castle' on its way up the bank to Treverrin, 66093 was released and departed Par just a few minutes afterwards. The loco is wearing a fair bit of clay! 12.11.2025, copyright Jon Hird.
Next up was 57301 working 0Z70, a Long Rock - Long Rock via Par light loco move. It's seen passing Carlyon golf course in some grim lighting. 12.11.2025, copyright Jon Hird.
