Popping up to Parkandillack
Paul Rundle

Being based a little further up the county Railway Employee Paul got in a very rare shot of the Track Recording Train at Parkandillack.
                                                                                    Many Thanks Paul

Another 'golden oldie' from John as 47500 and 50002 'SUPERB' slow to call at Liskeard. 47 500 was named 'GREAT WESTERN' at Old Oak Common without ceremony on February 27th 1979. 'SUPERB' was built in December 1967, rebuilt 21st March 1978 and withdrawn 9th September 1991. It was almost ten years later on the 17th May 1986 that 'Superb' was to haul the Cornwall Railway Society charter 'Severn Explorer' Railtour. It is indeed 'Superb' that 50 002 has made it into preservation. Copyright John Cornelius
