The train standing at Platform 2 is not for public use
Not every day a freight train pulls into Redruth station, however this was the case on the evening of 4th February 2020 when Colas Rail 70807 was working 6C41 to perform a ballast drop between Redruth and Lostwithiel, the train had stopped to pick up Network Rail staff, which was an ideal chance to take a quick picture.
