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.

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.
