Silver Bullets at Teignmouth
Now consigned to history the Silver Bullets was the nickname for the 6S55. This was a trainload of clay slurry from Bungullow to Irvine, to be used in paper making. It was at the time the longest freight service by mileage in the U.K. The standard haulage was a pair of St.Blazey 37s. On the 4th January 1994 it appeared behind 37668+37521, both relatively recent imports to the depot, and both in metals livery, still with Cardiff depot plaques on the sides. Changes in operation affected this service; one of the more noticeable ones was that the budget for keeping the dedicated wagons clean and shiny went missing. They soon achieved a drab brake dust and kack shade of grey. (t231-31f)
