16th May 2009 --- All thanks must go to and will go to JL/ML for a splendid day in Devon and Cornwall. Today I photographed the The Cornish Parker which operated from Crewe to Parkandillack as a Pathfinders Tour. The locomotives were DB Schenker's 37670 returning to its home of St Blazey and 37401. Firstly I photographed at Haresfield, the diverted via Gloucester, 6B80 Westbury yard to Machen which was being hauled by DB Schenker's 66092. I then waited and photographed the 1Z37 Pathfinder Tour to Parkandillack, with 37401 leading 37670. I then went to Langstone Rock near Dawlish Warren, to photograph in very lucky sunshine them again. The Growlers approached Dawlish Warren in full dull, but were looped without stopping and by the time they had approached the Rock the sun had broke through the Cloud. I then went into Cornwall (Many thanks to ML/JL) to Burngollow junction where 37401 ran round and went on the rear of the train. 37670 lead the railtour to Parkandillack. It was very nice meeting Shrek, SCLUB, Cellophane Steve, Swag, weasel and others at the location. On the way back from Parkandillack to Par, We photographed the train at Foxhole in another patch of lucky sunshine. 37401 lead the 1Z38 Parkandillack to Par. Before going to Restormel we did the final photograph of the '37s' arriving back at Burngollow Junction. We then went to Restormel to photograph the return leg, 1Z74 Par to Crewe with 37670 leading 37401 back. The final shot I did, was at Exminster near Exeter with 37670 leading 37401. A top day!
