Par in 1986
Steve Widdowson
Here is a pic of 37251 at Par on 30th August 1986, not 100% of the move but it had something to do with a charter to Penzance with a pair of 20's.

Anyone know the chap hanging out of the second man side ?

1035 Western Yeoman stands on Bond Street bridge, Redruth. Tommy HARRIS's timber and hardware store was to left immediatly before the bridge. There was always an odour of creosoate and freshly cut timber there. The stone two storey building nearest us was Channons whole food store. 9th May 1973 Copyright Sid Sponheimer N.B. Western Yeoman was put to traffic on the 17th July 1962 and was scrapped at Swindon on the 30th September 1976. The remains of the last signalbox base can be seen on the embankment to the right of the bridge.
