Fine Art Prints from Royal Cornwall Museum
Bodmin General station open day, Bodmin, Cornwall. June 1987
At an open day at Bodmin General station, visitors watch as engines are prepared. The trains operate on a 13 mile long railway from Bodmin Parkway mainline station via Bodmin General to Boscarne Junction. The Bodmin heritage railway was originally a branch of the Great Western Railway. In 1888 it was connected to Boscarne Junction which in turn provided a connection to the Bodmin and Wadebridge Railway. The saddle tank locomotive pictured, a Bagnall 0-4-0, was the last steam locomotive to work in Devonport Dockyard and is owned by the Cornish Steam Locomotive Preservation Society.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the vibrant atmosphere of the Bodmin General station open day in June 1987, located in the picturesque town of Bodmin, Cornwall. As visitors eagerly gather around, their eyes are fixed on the fascinating sight before them - a team of skilled engineers meticulously preparing engines for an exciting journey. These magnificent trains traverse a remarkable 13-mile long railway route from Bodmin Parkway mainline station through Bodmin General and all the way to Boscarne Junction. A testament to its rich heritage, this railway was originally established as a branch of the Great Western Railway and later connected to Boscarne Junction in 1888, providing access to the renowned Bodmin and Wadebridge Railway. The star of this particular snapshot is none other than a Bagnall 0-4-0 saddle tank locomotive – an iconic piece that holds historical significance as it served as Devonport Dockyard's final steam locomotive. Today, it finds itself under the ownership and care of the esteemed Cornish Steam Locomotive Preservation Society. Photographed by Jonathan Barker with great finesse, this image encapsulates not only the beauty of steam-powered machinery but also pays homage to Cornwall's deep-rooted connection with railways. It serves as a reminder that even amidst modern advancements, there is still room for appreciation and preservation of our cherished past.
