Sunset on the CDAs...
Neil Phillips
I saw Matt Weston's report (31st January) that scrapping of the remaining ten CDA wagons had commenced at the far end of St Blazey Yard. I was unable to check this yesterday but went down this afternoon for a look. Progress has been rapid ('practice makes perfect', as the old saying goes) and all that remained at 4pm were two underframes cut in half, with no hopper bodies present. Photography from St Blazey Road is hampered by vegetation, both alongside the road and in the yard itself, but I hope these views, including a last look over the access gate at the far end of the yard, will suffice to mark this sad finale.
Best regards,

While out checking on the CDA situation (above) I thought it worthwhile to take advantage of the unbroken winter sunshine - after all it has been a rarity lately!
Best regards,
