RM2D9745T–A late 19th Century view of the Flying Dutchman, a passenger train service from London Paddington to Exeter St Davids. It ran from 1849 until 1892, originally over the Great Western Railway (GWR) and then the Bristol and Exeter Railway. As the GWR expanded, the destination of the train changed to Plymouth and briefly to Penzance. It was named after The Flying Dutchman, a famous racehorse, which had won both the Derby and St. Leger in 1849.
