Treesmill Clay
Jon Hird
Working the first Cornish China Clay train for a couple of weeks (due to line blocks and the current problems on the Newquay branch), 66131 powers up the bank past Treesmill on its way to Exeter with 9 JIA's, ex-Par harbour. The blanket of cloud gave the lighting an odd tint. 11.12.2024, copyright Jon Hird.
