Great Western Railway: South Devon Doubling at Glaze Viaduct This photograph showcases an essential moment in the history of the Great Western Railway (GWR) during the South Devon Doubling project. South Devon Doubling was a significant railway engineering endeavor initiated in the 1970s to double the capacity of the single-track railway line between Exeter and Plymouth in Devon, England. The image focuses on the iconic Glaze Viaduct, a magnificent structure that spans the River Teign and marks the beginning of the South Devon coastline. The viaduct, constructed between 1846 and 1851, is a testament to the engineering prowess of the Victorian era. In this photograph, a GWR train laden with passengers and cargo makes its way across the viaduct, symbolizing the renewed connection between communities and the revitalized railway line. The double-track railway line, which was completed in 1979, enabled increased train frequencies, reduced journey times, and improved safety, revolutionizing transportation in the region. The South Devon Doubling project was a critical investment in the railway infrastructure of the United Kingdom, and the completion of this double-track section between Exeter and Plymouth was a significant milestone. This photograph encapsulates the essence of progress, innovation, and the enduring spirit of railway engineering.
