    Two evocative photos of the Bodmin and Wadebridge Railway appeared in the Railway Magazine in the spring of 1948.

    This is a first brief look at the line .....

    By the time the photographs were taken the railway had been open for more than 50 years. Opened in 1834, the line was intended to link the quays at Wadebridge at the head of the Camel Estuary with the town of Bodmin in Cornwall.

    Cycled the trackbed from Wadebridge to Padstow back in about 1993.
    Lovely scenic route and Padstow is beautiful.
