Mitchell & Newlyn Halt on the 2nd February 1974, eleven years after the last train called. - yet it is still there in 2016! Copyright Roger Winnen {Rails are tantilisingly close - the Lappa Valley Railway laid on the Chacewater - Newquay brnch trackbed is only 800 yards away)
Mitchell and Newlyn Halt with perhaps a record number of intending passengers - six adults plus one child in pushchair. Presumably they had walked from Newlyn East - the nearest habitation some three quarters of a mile away. Copyright Keith Jenkin

Dear All, I thought I would join the fray and wish all Members of the CRS and it's many followers both near and far the Compliments of the Season and a Prosperous and Healthy New Year.
By way of a seasonal looking card ( although a few years old) I attach a photo of the Caradon Railway Bridge in Tremar the left hand end of which abuts with the corner of our rear garden.
The actual end of the bridge runs into my next door neighbours garden and one end of both my front and rear gardens, at one time formed the railway embankment. The bridge is extant as I write.
An especial thanks to Keith and his assistants without who we would not be so regularly entertained.
Sid Sponheimer. Many thanks for your kind thoughts Sid.

Hi Keith, Rather like the film "Groundhog Day" we had a repeat rail drop in West Cornwall this Sunday. Also matching weather conditions blessed us, though the fog was much less dense today.
70807 was the prime mover provided today, and made a fine audio soundtrack powering along the heart of Cornwall, and could be heard from Probus some miles away before coming into view.
Pictured at Trenowth near Grampound, the train catches the fine morning crisp light heading back to Westbury.
Cheers Craig Many thanks to you Craig

70807 heads 6c97 at Trenowth on the 18th December 2016 Copyright Craig Munday In the background is the expanding village of Grampound Road - this had its own station until 5th October 1964. This station was two miles, as the crowflies from Grampound,
