Early doors at Par
Jon Hird
When the 6 o'clock alarm went off on Wednesday I very almost went back to bed for another hour - I couldn't see the end of my garden for fog/mist. I thought I'd have a go at the early Goonbarrow - Par harbour regardless and I'm pleased I did! 66305 approaches Middleway a little before 7am with 11 empty JIA's for loading at the harbour. 08.07.2026, copyright Jon Hird.
After running round in St. Blazey Yard, 66305 now propels its wagons over the gated crossing and along the short harbour branch. With the dryer at the harbour due to be turned off very soon, chances to see this line in use are now few and far between. 08.07.2026, copyright Jon Hird.

They're certainly very handsome locos - many thanks to Michael Adams and Michael Forward.
