Looe line 'tunnels'
Roger Winnen

Roger is still out of contact with the website due to his computer being in the depot under repair and it will be so until at least Tuesday.
Time for us to dig in our stored archives of Rogers work which brings up the following picture of one of the 'cut and cover'  tunnels which carry the Liskeard by-pass over the Looe branch under construction.
However out of contact Roger is still roaming the rails - he's off on the CRS visit to the Gartell Railway at Templecombe today. We look forward to seeing that in due course.

Have a good day Roger and all.
