37688 Newton Abbot 24th November 2022

            37688 thrashes through Aller in Newton Abbot just west of the station with the 5Z32 07:54 Exeter Riverside Yard - Penzance Long Rock barrier coach move to collect two HST mark 3 coaches before   returning to Riverside Yard via Laira Depot to collect more coaches  which will then be conveyed the next day to Sims in Newport for scrapping. 37688 is in Trainload Construction livery and is named Great Rocks. The loco is owned by the D05 Preservation Group and loaned to Locomotive Services Ltd (LSL) who regularly use it on railtours. 
My photo was taken at 08.45 on ISO 1600 at 1/500th of a second. Thankfully the train was running thirty minutes late due to being held at Dawlish Warren on the through road for some reason. I work in Newton Abbot and luckily was starting at 09.00 that day but even so I thought the photo at 08.15 would be pushing it for light with sunrise being 07.40. The sky was slate grey and overcast and at 08.15 ISO 12600 was required. This is a location I have been wanting to use for some time now but rather in the summer around midday as the sun would be right behind me. In early morning in  late November a watery sun behind the clouds could just be made out over my shoulder. Would have been stunning if the sun had been out. The spot is on the Torquay Road A380 near the Penn Inn flyover. Parking is in the Sainsburys car park and then a few minutes walk back along the road. The last time I was along here was in the 1980s before the bypass existed.
