Craig sees red at -
​Golant - St Blazey

Craig Munday
Who ever devised the bright red DB Cargo livery really did the locomotives justice, particularly in good light. Rattling towards the longest day (where has 2022 gone?), 66165 departed Carne Point in good time as is seen passing Golant. My night shift had just started when the empties arrived back at St Blazey, the evening sun still high enough to elude the shadows across the yard tracks.

The fabulous SB7 signal on the left of the class 66 will sadly be decommissioned when the Cornwall resignalling goes ahead, making the most of these precious views for now. happily semaphores will still operate on the Newquay branch for some years to come. 

Best wishes, Craig Munday

Steve comments - I am sure you have heard the tale told by Jethro, The train does not stop at Camborne on Wednesdays.
So when I was passing I just had to get off, after all It was Thursday ! When I asked the guard he said with a smile you will be ok today its Thursday today !
​Thanks Steve.

Picture Comment

David Cook sent in the picture below asking if anybody could suggest the mystery location - Roger Geach replies.
Hi Keith 
Interesting picture of 4566 but it looks rather rural in the background to me to be LA. 
Not much to go on but it looks a bit like the goods yard at Liskeard but I'm not really certain. 
Launceston may be another location.
If its Plymouth La I'd expect to see more houses in rear.
