Moorswater 1969

Dear Keith, Looking up the valley towards Moorswater in late May 1969. A solitary Western, typical of the day, on an up working. I have no idea which one. You can see the stone pillars of Brunels original wooden superstructure. The replacement, stone viaduct, in my opinion, is possibly the most graceful on the Cornish main line.
Best wishes Andrew Many thanks Andrew

Jim Lewis brings us two pictures to remind us that the branch from Bodmin Road to Bodmin General and onwards to Boscarne for Wenford and also to Wadebridge carried healthy traffic in addition to passengers.
Many thanks Jim

Its June 1979 and there's not an inch of siding space left within the confines of Bodmin General. Clay hoods either from or too Wenford and vans likely for Wadebridge. However sadly the signalbox, loco shed and good shed have gone. Copyright Jim Lewis
Try counting this lot! A mass of clay hoods being shunted at Bodmin General. June 1979 Copyright Jim Lewis
