LPPC DSL BW 0909 Some idea of the curvature and gradient profile of the Great Western main line west of Plymouth can be formed from this shot of a Class 50 approaching Liskeard with the 12.25pm 1A45 Penzance to London Paddington express. Note how the buffer stop at the end of the level engineer’s siding is virtually at the same height as the locomotive’s roof. Keywords: BR, Western, Hoover, Class 50, 1A45, Liskeard, Passenger
