The Exmouth Junction 2-6-2Ts worked the local services from Exeter to Exmouth via Topsham and the branch to Sidmouth, Budleigh Salterton and Exmouth. One was stabled overnight at the Exmouth sub-shed. In 1958 there were 31 weekday trains between Exeter Central and Exmouth. 41291 is ready to depart from Exmouth in the 1960s; it was at Exmouth Junction from March 1963 until June 1965, the loco is still carrying the 75A Brighton shed plate on the smokebox door, so this may be dated from close to the re-allocation date.
