Buckfastleigh Station – 1970
The Dart Valley Railway (as it then was) was still in its infancy. The occasion was a railtour from Liverpool organised by the Locomotive Club of Great Britain, at the time it being still possible to run mainline stock onto the branch.
Motive power up and down the branch was provided by former Great Western Railway locomotives 0-6-0PT 1638 and 2-6-2T 4555. (1638 was actually built post-Nationalisation).
A feature of Buckfastleigh Station was that although it had a passing loop, there was only a passenger platform on one side.
