In recent weeks a large number of continually welded rail trains have been running around at the terminus, mostly for the St Austell area, however last night the train was shown as Long Rock. No doubt when the summer is over we may see disruption at weekends.

A sylvan scene as two 25's head a sizable freight out of Cornwall. The platelayers cabin and telephone pole date the scene. Many thanks to Roger bringing us this one from his sizable collection.
