Foundry Road pedestrian bridge at Camborne has now been refurbished
Roger Winnen

A message received this morning from Mike Hitchens to say that the Foundry Road pedestrian bridge at Camborne was placed back into its position during the weekend. While work was on going to this bridge the main narrow road bridge was closed to vehicle traffic but opened for pedestrians to cross over the railway line.
Many Thanks Mike

The Cornish main line was characterised by sights such as this a powerful engine on a pick-up goods. The guard's van has been left on the up main and a selection of ancient former private-owner wagons is being shunted. The train is stationary (both the disc to enter the yard and the signal to leave are at 'danger'). Perhaps they are about to take water. Fowey Hall (7905) was one of the final batch of Halls (1949-50) of which two came new to Laira (7905/9) one to St Blazey (7916) and one to Penzance (7925). 7905 was but two years old at the time of the picture.

A nice bright autumn view as the 9.35 (ex Penzance) to Manchester Piccadilly (10.03 off Redruth) passes over Redruth viaduct. Taken from Treruffe Hill on the 25th September 2017 Copyright Martin Scane N.B. This view wasn't, in KJ's schooldays possible. The area in the foreground was a tipping point for coal into the gasworks. One could look down into the gas retorts, beyond this building lay a large gas holder. Note the spire of the old fire station.
