Ascending to Liskeard on the way from Looe, 1979 Viewed through the two sheets of glass, one rather dirty, of the rear window of a first generation diesel multiple unit, this is not the best quality view, but nevertheless it is one denied the traveller today. Having reversed at Coombe,  the train has already curved round 90 degrees. It has a further 180 degrees to go to end up at Liskeard at right angles to, and at the same level as, the main line on the viaduct.

View from Liskeard viaduct The railway line through Cornwall has many viaducts across steep sided valleys which, if you are quick, make for some interesting quasi-aerial views.  Here is one from just east of Liskeard station, looking towards the village.
