Engineering work
West Cornwall
Mark Lynam
​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
