More on Milk
at St Erth

Picture
Here we see 'Rodney' sorting out the milk in the sidings at St Erth. 'Rodney' was built as just plain D421 and later renumbered 50 021. It was rebuilt in May 1968 and finally withdrawn on the 17th April 1990. It is one of the lucky ones going into preservation - owned by Paul Spracklen. This picture copyright John Cornelius
Picture
Another scene long gone as class 25 stands in the up platform at St Erth. Whether it is getting ready to run round to take the tankers, if loaded, on up the main or to run round prior to drawing them down onto the St Ives branch for subsequent dispersal in the yard or at the milk depot is not known.
