As close as I could get to the original junction scene! Nearly two decades worth of sapling, bramble and gorse have choked the cutting peeling away from the mainline, the location of which is marked by the white van just visible in the background.

North Roskear Branch
Cornwall's Lost Railways @ fotopic.net
The junction with the mainline in the twilit years of only occasional traffic prior to closure. Winter 1985.Previous | NextLooking north-east along the initial cutting towards North Roskear, only yards from the erstwhile Fraser Metals siding. Here Cornwall's reputation for riotous fauna growth is borne out...ironically it is the stub of the line which was closed most recently which is by far the most difficult to negotiate. 2nd January 2007.
