A Maunsell U class comes through Wareham with a mixed freight. This 2.6.0 loco was built in 1926 and lasted until January 30th 1964. It is nice to see that the station advertises the Swanage branch and that the up platform still has signals for the bay. Picture from Mick Hymans Copyright

The Removal of Camborne Station Footbridge
After 77 years for restoration
Roger Winnen & Mick House

From the vantage point of the temporary footbridge erected at Camborne Station and the up platform a small crowd gathered to watch the removal of the bridge which was erected in 1940. This bridge will be restored and reinstated in Camborne within a couple of months. Camborne was very cold on Saturday evening, I stayed from 16.00hrs until completion of the lift at 19.30hrs to witness the event. Roger Winnen.

The final day of track renewals between Redruth and Truro.
Week three, day two of work between Wheal Bois and Scorrier 22/01/2017.
By Mick House.

The final day and as the number of photos that came in yesterday far exceeded the number anticipated I have separated today’s collection.
I would like to give a big thank you to all of our contributors, in particular Colas driver Alan Peters and Network Rails Graham Mann for photos within the work site.
Photos will be added to the features page when they come in.
