New Kids On The Block Train

Looking fresh in newly applied 'Revised' Network SouthEast livery, 50017 'Royal Oak' stands at the west end of Lostwithiel station with 14 CDAs in tow which were fairly new to the rails, having been introduced to replace the ageing clay hoods.

This is probably a working from one of the mid-Cornwall clay production centres such as Parkandillick or Burngullow, en route to the dock at Fowey for unloading which requires the loco to run around the wagons at the east end of Lostwithiel station before heading west again and then diverging onto the Fowey branch which heads off in the far left distance in this photo.

March 1988
