A rare view of a re-built BoB/WC west of Exeter, after the weight restriction was removed over Meldon Viaduct, west of Okehampton. In July 1959 Meldon Viaduct had been strengthened and the re-built locos, which had a higher axle loading, were allowed to work to Plymouth. but they were still barred from the North Cornwall and North Devon branch lines, the former due to a severe weight restriction on the viaduct at Little Petherick Creek (Near Padstow).
