Another day of trying to locate the various engineers trains around West Cornwall.
I found 66192 near Carn Brea, although not in the best place for a photo.
66014+66849 were in the cutting by Barncoose industrial estate, luckily I didn't have long to wait until they started slowly moving towards Redruth.
After just missing 66001+66002 at Truro station which came down the previous night running 36 minutes early, I headed to Paradise crossing just outside Truro, It seems the next train wasn't that far up the line!
66014+66849 at Paradise Crossing on what I believe is called Newbridge or Penwithers Viaduct. This waited out of view until it's 13.15 departure from Truro!
A quick stop off at the footbridge at Drump Road, Redruth 70812 was stopped, which is due to take the track placement machine back to Westbury tomorrow night.
I headed back to Barncoose/Pool area to find 66192 was still there, which later moved forward to this position, then left for Truro at 2pm for its 15.13 departure this afternoon.
Thanks,
Mark Lynam

Hi Keith,
I managed to escape to various places along the Exe today, mainly to photograph some class 143s as they have only a few days left in service. However, other fare was to be had.
Hope these are of interest, Stay safe. Bill
