GWR Star class 4-6-0 No 4054 Princess Charlotte departs from Dawlish with an up express in 1926.

Peter Kerslake says "Photographed from "Coastguard Footbridge" at the east of Dawlish station 4054 lifts its heavy load eastwards and away towards the final stretch of the sea wall line, heading for Dawlish Warren, Exeter and beyond. Note the little wisps of escaping steam from both inside valve covers, quite a common sight in times past".
