Lostwithiel And Fowey Railway
All photographs of this railway in date order.
![The infamous <I>Western China Clay Railtour</I> of 4 December 1976 stands at Carne Point, Cornwall, in the fading afternoon light, with the Maybach engine exhausts from the pair of Western class diesel hydraulic locomotives (D1056 Western Sultan front and D1023 Western Fusilier rear) reflected in the cold, dark waters of the Fowey estuary. <br><br>[Ian Dinmore 04/12/1976]](/images/18000/18608.jpg "Fowey")
![China clay loading in progress at Carne Point, Cornwall, in 1977, near the end of the branch south from Lostwithiel to Fowey Harbour. The pair of class 08 shunters on the wharf alongside the bulk carrier <I>Voreda</I>, (all looking the worse for wear), belong to ECC, having been puchased from BR in 1974. <br><br>[Ian Dinmore //1977]](/images/17000/17877.jpg "Fowey")
![China Clay from Goonbarrow, Rock Dries Siding, passes Golant as it approaches the unloading facility at Carne Point just north of Fowey. Moments before the train arrived a number of 'pedestrians' had to quit the trackbed. Readers of RAIL 630 will find this viewpoint strangely familar (p70) although a few houses have been repainted (and built) in the intervening years.<br><br>[Ewan Crawford 18/11/2009]](/images/26000/26498.jpg "Golant")
![There are many photographs of the line approaching Fowey over the causeway at Golant. Here's another but from an unusual viewpoint. The loading point at Fowey can be seen at the top left of centre.<br><br>[Ewan Crawford 27/10/2010]](/images/31000/31294.jpg "Golant")
