Okehampton in 1964, viewed from Tors Road bridge looking down on a Motorail train standing beside the station with the rolling West Devon landscape stretching far into the distance beyond. The long line of dark vehicle-carrying wagons curves away beside the main line, with the loading ramp visible in the foreground and a semaphore signal marking the station approaches. Small cars and station buildings on the left help explain the purpose of the scene: this was the Motorail service linking Okehampton with Surbiton in south-west London, allowing holidaymakers to travel by train while taking their cars with them. It is a remarkable view of a now-vanished railway operation, combining the practical detail of the loading arrangements with a sweeping elevated panorama over the town and countryside.
