Title: Another Where to? Post by: LiskeardRich on March 22, 2014, 17:06:19 I was out walking today and came across this location.
Any guesses of where I was? I took the photos to research what line it was as a memory when I got home.

I can't remember the name of the dismantled railway, but it would have been the line that went to Launceston.

Title: Re: Another Where to? Post by: Cynthia on March 22, 2014, 18:00:34 No it isn't Cynthia. Shucks. I thought it was a bit of a long shot, but picture No. 3 reminded me of a 'Meldon View'. Are we allowed a clue yet, or do you want to wait until a few other folk have had a chance to guess? Can you at least tell me in which county the photo was taken, please?! (Pretty please? :-*) Title: Re: Another Where to? Post by: LiskeardRich on March 22, 2014, 18:06:20 No it isn't Cynthia. Shucks.

I have now looked it up and know where I was and what line it was! Title: Re: Another Where to?

Yes, Rob, correct. It is the Goonbell Viaduct. I couldn't find any other evidence of the line's existence. and the cutting on the other side of the tunnel/ bridge is filled in and is at road level.

Oh, you beat me to it Rob T, I was on the case, studying the ordnance Survey maps I have of the area! Oh well, another time. Once I'm mobile again I'm going to take some piccies of a disused line I know that is quite hidden away, I don't think any of you will be able to guess the location, so I'll get my revenge then!
