My father in law lived in Saltash for about 35 years until he sadly passed 2 years ago. We loved travelling down to visit. We did the walk across the Brunel bridge to celebrate 150 years too .
Wonderful to be looking at a current day comparison that's still an operational railway and not a pile of undergrowth ... or new Housing Development with a Beeching Way!
Are you covering West Cornwall? Thinking particularly of Gwinear Road and Helston, where I used to live, and the bits of the old line that have been resored and reopened as a heritage project
Terras Crossing is one of the best crossings in the world. Although Cars have to stop, the crossing is by a blind Road junction, and there are no other warning mechanisms, such as lights, bell, barriers or sirens to warn cars of the oncoming train.
A semaphore signal on a platform ? That's a recipe for disaster isn't ? l'll bet a few drunk members of the local Zoo have swung of it Friday and Saturday nights !!!

All the yard is now a car park
