The End of an Era

            After running round in the up goods loop, 66199 brings the last ever CDA working of 6P24, the 15:35 Parkandillack to Fowey Dock Carne Point over the crossover at Lostwithiel, on Friday August 11th, 2023.  The end of an era which began in 1987, the clay trains will now be worked using JIA wagons, pending the arrival of JGAs.  These semaphore signals will soon be replaced by colour lights with the closue of the signal box.
