LPPC DSL BW 0401 Withdrawals of the Western class 52 diesel hydraulics were well under way by the time this shot was taken, as we now view the rear of the train seen in the previous photograph as it snakes out of St Budeaux Ferry Road with the Penzance to Kensington milk train. It has just passed over the Saltash Tamar bridge and will soon be clattering over the junction with the erstwhile Southern ‘Withered Arm’ line that used to run to Exeter St Davids via Okehampton, but by this time had long been cut back to Bere Alston. Note the short goods line to Keyham on the right, one of many in the Plymouth area when the Royal Navy Dockyards were rail-served. Keywords: BR, Class 52, Milk, Freight, Plymouth, Western
