A short trip to the South Devon Railway, which runs between Buckfastleigh and Totnes, alongside the river Dart. It is not the only railway that runs alongside the river Dart; the other is the Dartmouth Steam Railway, which has already been covered in previous videos, so check that out. On this Family Fun Autumn Weekend, there were 12 more services than usual, along with the crossover at Staverton. Running on the day were Small Prairie No. 5526 and Pannier Tank No. 6412.
