Bodmin Railway
Class 10 Running Day
Plus!
CDA Wagon movements
22.06.2024
On Saturday 22.06.24, the Bodmin Railway will be using visiting D3489 Class 10 "Colonel Tomline" to haul their service set. This will be the first time that a Class 10 has hauled a service over the line for many years, since the railways own example was placed into storage pending overhaul.
D3489 is on-hire to the railway from The Helston Railway whilst Bodmin's own Class 08, 08444, is overhauled.
As with most of its classmates, D3489 had a relatively short BR career. In 1969 it was sold to the Felixstowe Dock and Railway Company where it worked until 2001.
There will be 5 departures following the timetable shown below.
Also, subject to the usual caveats, the recently preserved rake of 8 CDA wagons should be out for crew training purposes, hauled by either 47306 or 50042.
A rare opportunity to see/photograph these characterful wagons on the move behind some heritage traction!

It's been a busy few weeks. Despite me believing I wouldn't cover many box shifts, I've had a few recently in West Cornwall which has been interesting.
All the best,
Craig
