Glad you liked it!

Fantastic work.....never knew this existed....must be preserved at all cost...

[@steamtothewest-trecanrail]

Indeed

[@brianwillson9567]

To resurrect part of such an ‘insignificant’ long closed railway is a major achievement. Congratulations, and more power to your elbow. Don’t visit Cornwall much these days (Caribbean sunshine is more reliable) but will definitely visit when the opportunity presents itself.

My wife and i travelled on this lovely railway back in 2021. We are determined to go back and visit again.

[@steamtothewest-trecanrail]

Fantastic

[@ChapelEndJunctionUK]

Visited 2 weeks ago while staying in St Ives , will be a great line when extended to Helston .

[@steamtothewest-trecanrail]

It would be an incredible achievement

[@davidowen6977]

Lovely scenes. I remember Cornish Rain. Thank you 👍

[@steamtothewest-trecanrail]

The rain really was quite horrible to stand in 😂😂

[@bourne3106]

Yep, that’s Britain. Recognise that weather any time of day .

I see what you mean "and quite possibly the slowest!!!" 🤔🚂🚂🚂

[@steamtothewest-trecanrail]

I guess they have to run quite slowly to lengthen out the journey

[@davidfalconer8913]

It is a shame Dr Beeching shut down the Tiverton to Tiverton Junction line ( UK , Devon ) ... I have the dubious " fame " ? as the last person to walk this line ( with 3 school friends ! ) the day before it was all ripped up ( the pressed steel sleepers ( ties ) were quite unusual ? ) .... DAVE™ .............. 🛑

Uh... Isn't Penzance Railway Station further south?

[@steamtothewest-trecanrail]

Most Westerly, not southerly.

[@HexAyed]

@@steamtothewest-trecanrail Ok, but Penzance is still further south than Helston

[@steamtothewest-trecanrail]

Unfortunately not, Helston is the most southerly town on the island of Great Britain and is around 1.5 miles (2.4 km) farther south than Penzance.

@@steamtothewest-trecanrail Hm, fair enough
