Little of great interest to report lately. The Month of September has so far been a washout with little bright light around.
I did pop down to Par Harbour the other afternoon as the JIA wagons arrived a day late from the Midlands. This resulted in the BZ boys quickly amending their schedules to load the Par Harbour portion on Thursday afternoon, and Treviscoe / Parkandillack portion Friday morning. The train went back East Thursday) Par Harbour) and Saturday morning. The Saturday morning trip is pictured at Lostwithiel.
I have been eager for an afternoon trip down at the harbour as the light far better than the morning. Little sunlight made it through, but I did get a nicely lit shot through thin cloud. The loco is 66023.
Also included in this batch is the Carne Point traversers in operation tipping the recently arrived loaded CDA wagons. As can be seen, the outer lines 1 traverses across to line 4, and line 2 moves sideways to line 3. Therefore the empty lines outbound are line 3,4. Loaded incoming roads 1,2. It is a fascinating, time consuming process.
All the best, Craig. Many thanks indeed Craig
