GWR steam train in the Dart Valley
A 'Prairie' tank engine is hauling a single-coach 'auto-train' (push-pull train) back towards Buckfastleigh from Totnes on what is now known as the South Devon Railway. http://www.southdevonrailway.co.uk/. Picture taken February 2013
A fascinating contrast with the 1969 picture Image: The engine in the 2013 picture is roughly where the left-hand end of the train is in the 1969 shot. Farming practices have changed too - some hedges grubbed out, wider access gates for bigger machinery, etc.

South Devon Cows?
I am aware that there's a breed of cow called South Devons, and they are this sort of colour, but I'm not clever enough to know if that's what these are.
Being beside the South Devon Railway isn't a good enough pedigree.
