Can you imagine the cost of rebuilding all this infrastructure in today’s money. As a previous commentator commented, such a shame they didn’t have the foresight to mothball the line in it’s entirety, as today the railroad would undoubtedly be a major attraction. Thank you very much for taking the time and trouble to research and post this video, it is very appreciated.
What a beautiful video. Even since this video was shot. Things have changed drastically. If only they had the foresight to mothball these lines , to open up if future opportunities arise. With roads as they are now in Devon and Cornwall and tourism at peak demand. These railways would have been well utilised now as the views were breathtaking. A big opportunity missed. Keep up the great content. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
