34005 'Barnstaple' near Seaton Junction

34005 'Barnstaple' near Seaton Junction
...in May 1964

34005 was built in 1945 and rebuilt without the air smoothed casing in 1957.
Seaton Junction station was closed in March 1966, a few months prior to this loco being withdrawn.

This is a scan from the original Agfa CT18 35mm slide, which has lasted quite well.

Yes Gudrun, all the fun has gone. They are talking about getting some High Speed Trains (HST2s), which are similar to your ICEs.......and they have been talking about them for decades!

And the same service today is worked by two or three car DMUs. Such is progress...
