Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The main line from Plymouth and the River Tamar to Truro was first opened in May 1859. This lovely new book explores the entire history of the main line from the earliest days of the Cornwall Railway through to the post-Privatisation era. The construction of this difficult line by Brunel is covered in depth, along with a concise history of the original acts which resulted in the opening of the main line. Opportunely published in the 150th anniversary year of the opening of the line, this new volume includes many useful details of the various viaducts and notable gradients, a comprehensive summary of services over the years, as well as a survey of freight traffic, culminating in the rationalisation of recent decades. In addition, railway infrastructure, especially stations, signal boxes, and major depots and yards are also explored in depth, along with a complete review of motive power in the region, from the broad gauge locomotives through to the modern HSTs and Voyagers. With enough information to satisfy even the most ardent enthusiast and a collection of stunning images, this is one not to be missed by railway enthusiasts around the country.

Download or read book The St Ives Branch Line written by Richard C. Long and published by Pen and Sword Transport. This book was released on 2022-09-19 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1963 comic duo Flanders and Swann composed Slow Train - a lament for some of the many railway lines proposed for closure by Dr Beeching. Among the destinations listed in their song is the refrain “from St Erth to St Ives”. Constructed in 1877 as the last broad gauge line to be built in the UK, the St Ives branch did not close in the 1960s and survives to this day – now widely regarded as one of the most scenic railways in Europe. How did it escape closure, and how did it come to be built in the first place? Why did the war departments of the world have their eyes on St Ives in the years before the First World War? How did a town once renowned for the inescapable smell of fish become one of the most popular tourist resorts in the UK? Did the Great Western Railway invent the Cornish Riviera? Why was a heliport proposed for St Erth? Where did a 32-ton ballast digger end-up in 2008? And how did two young men find themselves four miles from the nearest station in 1860...? Containing over 100 images, mostly in color and many never published before, this book sets out to answer these and many more questions.

Download or read book Great Western Railway written by Andrew Roden and published by White Lion Publishing. This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Roden’s comprehensive new history of this remarkable railway company tells the story of nothing less than the opening-up of the isolated Southwest of England to the trade and tourism of the modern age. It has left us with soaring termini like Paddington and Bristol Temple Meads as well as glorious railway institutions like the Night Riviera overnight sleeper to Cornwall that endure to this day (not least thanks to the author’s own campaigning!). While the GWR’s green locomotives and chocolate and cream carriages may have given way to purple, anyone who wants to return to the golden age of the railways will find the company’s history an enthralling journey.

Download or read book The Railways of Devon and Cornwall Around the Early 1960s written by Michael Clemens and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Railways of Devon & Cornwall Around the Early 1960s covers many of the lines across the two counties and the steam locomotives that worked over them. Whilst there are main line photographs, this book mainly visits a selection of the now largely vanished secondary routes and branch lines. The early 1960s also saw the change from steam to diesel power, so the WR hydraulics and first generation DMUs also make an appearance. In the main, the time period is the eight years or so from 1958 until 1966. This book will appeal to railway enthusiasts, modelers, and those interested in local history. Coverage includes: The Exe Valley branch, The Culm Valley branch, The Teign Valley branch, Lyme Regis, Seaton Junction, Sidmouth Junction, Exeter, Crediton, Okehampton, Barnstaple, Torrington to Halwill, Bude and its harbor branch, The North Cornwall Railway to Wadebridge and Padstow, The Launceston and South Devon branch, Plymouth, The Looe branch, Bodmin, Wenford Bridge, Newquay to Par, Falmouth, The Helston branch, and concludes at Penzance. Virtually all of the photographs, a mixture of black & white and color, have never been published before, and all were taken by the author, his father, or his friend Alan Maund.
