About our pictures.
The Cornwall Railway Society website, which has been on line since May 2010, was originally planned just to advertise the activities of the society and give details of the organisation and history of the Society. It has, however, since developed into site where enthusiasts can obtain the latest news on the railway scene and go for pictures of the railways in the West Country past and present. We have also recorded some of the many rail tours which have visited the counties,
If you have any pictures of your own of general railway interest which you would like to see on the site we’d be only too pleased to receive them. Please provide full details with your submissions – they must be your own work, or submitted with the owners permission – they must not be copyright pictures. You may copy pictures for your own use but please ask the copyright holder for permission. Pictures from the CRS website should NOT be used for public shows or displays without permission. It would be impolite so to do.
To copy and alter the name of the copyright holder to your own is nothing short of stealing.
The website gratefully acknowledges the input received from our major sources of material The late John Cornelius, Roger Geach, Mike Morant, Craig Munday, Chris Osment, Mike Roach, Trevor Tremethick, Roger Salter, The late Sid Sponheimer , David Tozer , Guy Vincent, and Roger Winnen.
