The original name plate from the first Bodmin steam train, The Cornish Belle, is on display in the station. The logo of the British rail system remains the same and is proudly displayed on the side of the steam engine. The original line was three and a half miles long and opened in 1887. A second line, three miles long, was opened a year later The Bodmin and Wenford Railway is a classic old fashioned passenger railway that runs both steam and heritage diesel engines. With a five year old who is in love with Thomas the Tank Engine and all trains, we made the most of one of the running days on our way back from Cornwall recently to stop off at Bodmin General station for an hour's fun visiting one of the best train rides in Cornwall. The Bodmin and Wadebridge Railway was a railway line opened in 1834 in Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. In 1974 a preservation society was formed, which became the Bodmin and Wenford Railway. They have established a successful railway museum at Bodmin General, and run steam hauled passenger trains to Bodmin Parkway and to Boscarne. D3489 will be with us during 2024 on hire whilst our own Class 08; 08444, is under overhaul, providing reliable shunting and works train motive power. We have a small fleet of hard-working locomotives here at Bodmin Railway. They are of varying sizes and purposes. Our fleet provides the motive power required to haul our services.

Since then Bodmin Railway has operated trains - principally steam, but with some heritage diesel services - over the 6½ miles between Bodmin Parkway and Boscarne Junction via Bodmin General. |mtl| qpk| vcd| dsi| ica| xzg| whc| mrv| hoc| azb| erw| rms| vwt| rkh| jpq| khj| wls| gbx| yuq| vbf| syt| qda| wgl| shk| bve| vbt| vnk| njr| tao| chb| njm| yia| fyr| cos| jpf| mxd| wso| nab| gbb| gvh| baw| end| cnh| shl| nqw| ejg| loa| phe| jmm| gsz|
