Condemened - Last days of Callington Branch (with commentary) .avi

A part cab ride on the now trunicated Callington Branch. Showing the closed stations and the deviation from the original line to the incline for Calstock Quay sidings.

I lived in Albaston for many years and walked the old line once. My Auntie still lives in Gunnislake as did my mother. Traveled many times up and down from the old Station and the new one. Mum rests with a view of the line. We all loved living in the Valley but for work had to move away. Still go back. My Cousin lived in the area of Callington Station then moved to Plymouth. Love from David and Lily.

Thank you for uploading, I used to fish for eels at the viaduct 0:50 in the 60's visiting my aunt in Gunnislake during the school holidays.

Thanks, trothelens, for the comment, I was amazed to see that on the Anniversary of the opening there was a two hour window when access was allowed! If only i had known!
