Class 31 at Par
Steve Widdowson

An unusual visitor to Cornwall disgraced itself as it failed to start at Penzance at the commencement of the return journey. It was hauled dead with the railtour train by the 37''s used for the St Ives section of the tour to Par where it was 'dumped' for later recovery. 17th May 1997. Copyright Steve Widdowson

John Cornelius

This signalbox was of a very unusual design to protect the signalman from 'flying rocks' during times of blasting in the adjacent quarry. The clear exhaust of Western Gauntlet showing that she's in good health as she blasts her way up Dainton bank. Copyright John Cornelius
