WHEN SEMAPHORES RULED
Do you remeber when semaphores were still in use at Penzance? I always feel that locations were in some way 'lesser' once the old semaphores had gone.
Here we see unnamed Class50's 50038 50040 at Penzance on 9-9-77.
I had moved to Plymouth in August 1977, so the delights of Cornwall lay before me. Most of my photos from that era are in the ownership of my friend Martin Loader so you will have to wait for him to put them on one of his sites. You can see a few of these on Hondawanderer.co.uk under the Tom Derrington Railway Archive section.
This was taken in the morning so not the classic late afternoon view.
