Yeovil
Pen Mill Shed
Colin Burges & Roger Winnen

Picture
The view from the road bridge just south of Yeovil Pen Mill station. A Weymouth bound train leaves. The formation of the line to Yeovil Town was off to the extreme right. Also to the right one can see the sleepers of the track which led into Yeovil Pen Mill shed. Copyright Roger Winnen N.B. More of Rogers pictures in the Castle Cary - Weymouth section.

Lightning on the Limited
Roy Hart

Picture
Until the mid-1960s the up 'Limited' ran non-stop from Gwinear Road to Truro. Here, 70019 Lighning raises the echoes through Camborne.
Notice the complicated pointwork leading to the yard. The down platform (where the photographer was standing) was exceedingly short and most down trains had to draw up twice. The up platform was also short, but was lengthened in 1937, necessitating the loss of the former up sidings.
On the left, the 'mineral' is on the up refuge siding.

Athelney
John Cornelius

Picture
A super study of the signalbox at Athelney where John Cornelius was one of the signalmen. The picture is also of great interest as it features 50 042 Triumph which still exists and is based here in Cornwall on the Bodmin and Wenford Railway. Copyright John Cornelius
