Morwellham Quay & Tramway (4k)

[@raycutler1958]

Morwellham Quay really is the most wonderful place. I remember going there with a girlfriend a few times in the early 80's and thoroughly enjoyed every moment. Everything about the place is fantastic and I would urge everyone to visit it at least once in their lives. Its the sort of place that makes you feel like you really have time travelled and you wish you could stay there.

1986 I worked on this line for the Summer. Very enjoyable but most days going home with a sore throat. We ran round the train at the end not a top and tail. David now with a Lily. Plymouth and Reading.

[@railsites]

A very well maintained line. Smooth. Wonder why a sore throat?? Glad you enjoyed video

@@railsites We stopped outside the mine and gave an introduction. Stopped by some drills, the water wheel and told about New Quay where we originally swapped ends with one locomotive. mases of visitors in he 1980s and often 4 trains running at a time. Voice got hammered... Loads of tea. Nice shed at the entrance we got soaked back in the day. David.

This place is very cool. The old industrial hamlets are fascinating places.

[@railsites]

A good visit especially when the hamlet has a railway !!

I worked on a hydroelectric tunnel way up in Yosemite National Park about 50 years ago. They gave us these cheap little $2 flashlights to carry around, we all thought they were worthless! Until the power went out and that was the only light source we had, damn was that thing bright!! That's when I learned what Darkness truly was!

[@railsites]

Darkness is amazing and they turn on candle power on the trip - Awesome. Thanks for watching

Went here ages ago prior the filming of edwardian farm TV series. Interesting little place and the mine railway was a excellent line to ride on, especially when you see the underground water wheel.
