End of an Era: Cornwall's High Speed Train & Semaphore Farewell - Railway Photography

Cornwall's vanishing icons, they'll be both gone in 6 months' time, a last opportunity to photograph the HST's and Semaphore Signals across the railways of Cornwall.

The day started and ended at St.Austell, first stop Par, with a walk near St.Blazey, back to Par station for more GWR Castle Class HSTs and the semaphores signals around the station. A train to Lostwithiel get a couple of China Clay freight trains passing with more Semaphore Signals and GWR Castle Class High-Speed Trains. Onwards then to Liskeard for yet more semaphore signals and the branch line to Looe. Finally, a run across Cornwall to St.Erth to take in the GWR Semaphore signals around the station.
