St. Keyne station

I am submitting this photograph of St. Keyne station five years after the 2006 view, which was submitted to show the difference between that and the 2000 picture. Charmingly the station is now suffixed with the words 'Wishing Well halt'. This branch line is one of the many in the area and nationally that is enjoying a healthy increase in passengers, long may it continue.

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. SX2363 : Coombe station, 1979 is a view in the reversal station, SX2463 : Approaching Coombe Junction from Looe, 1979 is a view in the same direction from the track from Looe to the left.

A view through the dirty front window of a diesel multiple unit as it approaches the junction. It will reverse in the station beyond the signal box and return up the line to the right, heading for Liskeard.
