Thanks to the driver for the 'little' exhaust.

For many years I have been associated with photographing trains in and around Dawlish in South Devon. I have set out to try and get as many different classes of locomotive and multiple unit as possible passing alomg the Sea Wall section between Dawlish Station and Kennaway Tunnel. This Fotopic site will be built up as time permits showing a number of these views. Some pictures here have been taken from the previous news collection.
