Mexico Crossing
Roger Winnen

Picture
Roger takes a stroll up the beach. A most interesting picture as D1021 Western Cavalier approaches Mexixo Crossing, Long Rock, with an up service. Mexico Crossing is no more following a fatality a few years ago. Note the semaphores, the telegraph wires and posts. 31st December 1973 Copyright Roger Winnen

Fowey
Alan Harris
Picture
Almost a painting. In the background Fowey village clinging to the western bank of the Fowey river. In the foreground a string of sheeted clay wagons await unloading plus one truck with barrels. Note the turnplates on which the loaded wagons were turned prior to being trundled out on the jetty. A Gem from the Alan Harris Collection
Additional very valuable information added by Roy Hart who says :-
I would date this picture around 1892.  We are looking at the southern end of Carne Point sidings and wharves. The line from Lostwithiel (built in 1869 to broad gauge) has been purchased by the CMR  and was regauged and reopened in 1895. The state of the trackwork here suggests that this has not yet come to pass. The Lower wharves at Carne Point (the ones we are looking at here) were built by the CMR with their line from St Blazey and opened in 1874. In the 1890s the passenger service to Lostwithiel began and the GWR (the new owners) extended the wharf installations upriver.
                                       Many thanks Roy.
