37675 & 37673 Exminster 22 April 1988

37675 William Cookworthy & 37673 pass the boarded up signal box at Exminster on 22 April 1988 with the 6B43 15:35 St Blazey to Gloucester Speedlink service. Although only a short train, this true mixed traffic working contains an amazing seven different types of wagon. Both locos were allocated to Laira at the time and were regularly paired on this working. Nowadays in the health and safety obsessed age the lead locomotive would probably be failed for having a non working headlight!
