A Superpower at Newton Abbot. The second portion of the down Cornish Riviera Express makes an impressive sight behind King Class 4-6-0s No. 6026 King John and No. 6025 King Henry lll on 27th July 1957. A few miles farther on these 2 powerful locos would have made easy going of the notorious South Devon Banks around the Southern Slopes of Dartmoor.
