Loadhaul in Cornwall
Roger Geach
60007 with the St Blazey Cliffe Vale seen at Bolitho, Liskeard 16/07/2002.
The use of class 60 locomotives was reasonably short but for a period they could be seen daily.
They were heavy, RA8, so were not passed on all the lines in the County.
I only saw them down the Fowey branch a few times, maybe others saw them more often on the CDA's?
