Looking towards Moor Bridge. Just beyond is the switch into Hemerdon Siding. Trains here have just breasted the 2.7 mile climb at 1-42 from Plympton and now power on across Slade and Blatchford viaducts, still climbing through Ivybridge and Bittaford to reach the summit of the line at Wrangaton before descending to South Brent and on to Totnes
