Leaving Coombe Junction for Liskeard, 1979 A view through the dirty rear window of a diesel multiple unit as it grinds up the hill from a reversal at Coombe Junction. Catch points diverting runaways down the hill to the right have not yet been reset by the signalman, whose signal box may be glimpsed (in the next square). The seven mile post is on the right, measured from Looe into Coombe Junction station and out again. The line from Looe is at the lower level on the left. Splitting junction signals are in front of the signalbox, these are for the station terminus to the right and the freight line to Moorswater to the left. The latter once connected with the Liskeard and Caradon Railway which ascended the heights of Bodmin Moor to reach several mines.  <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1649426">SX2363 : Coombe station, 1979</a> is a view in the reversal station, <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2823990">SX2463 : Approaching Coombe Junction from Looe, 1979</a> is a view in the same direction from the track from Looe to the left.
