Angarrack Station
Yesterday & Today
Roger Winnen

On a visit to St Ives yesterday I noticed a number of Cornish Books for sale, one was Ventonleague entitled Some History and the life of a Cornish Village by Philip A. Rutter
Inside the book was a photograph of Loggan's Fish Bar, previously Miss Janie Rutter's village shop, is said to have originally been built as Angarrack Station booking office. The old Hayle Railway trackbed is still visible to the left of the picture. We acknowledge with thanks to Mr Philip A. Rutter for allowing us to use this photograph on our website.

A chance peering over the station wall at Penzance one afternoon while on holiday in Cornwall I noticed a Class 52 'Western' diesel hydraulic resplendent in maroon livery. I had to take a reality check as this wasn't the late 1960's when several 'Westerns' carried the attractive BR maroon livery with full yellow ends, but 17th September 2016. The Diesel Traction Group's D1015 'Western Champion' is about to depart with the'Cornishman' railtour. Copyright Matthew Bradley
Many thanks Matthew
A sight to savour

Largin Viaduct

Picture
The nightly St Blazey to Tavistock Junction freight, headed by a St Blazey 42XX 2-8-0T eases across Largin viaduct in the twilight. This was a regular working for many years: the 42XX were notorious for their poor water capacity and this engine will have filled up at Bodmin Road, having only come from St Blazey!

Another one from the archives - many thanks Roy.
