The South Devon Railway Company built and operated the railway from Exeter to Plymouth and Torquay in Devon England. It was a 7 ft 1⁄4 in (2140 mm) broad gauge railway built by Isambard Kingdom Brunel.The line had to traverse difficult hilly terrain and the Company adopted the atmospheric system in which trains were drawn by a piston in a tube laid between the rails a vacuum being created by stationary engines.
