47817, in large logo livery, heads out of Parson's Tunnel, Dawlish working the 1105 Paddington to Penzance service in the days of hauled trains. The sun is not out sadly but when it is, there is a limited time early afternoon before the shot becomes shadowed by the high cliffs. One of the classic locations to photograph trains in Devon back in the day before fences and growth prevented it.
