So now we go back to a balmy August evening, with holiday-makers taking a stroll, as class 45xx No.5531 arrives with fish vans to take the catch from the trawlers at the quayside...
Pulling through Looe sidings...
...past Looe Bridge...
...and onto the quay
Running round the train...
...with a trip along the quay
Back on the vans
Skipper's-eye view
Bird's-eye view
As darkness falls, loading is completed, and No.5531 gets slowly underway...
Cab-eye view
Alongside Station Road
Through Looe station...
...and away up the East Looe River.
At Liskeard yard (which is too dark to see), the vans will be attached to an overnight fish train to Paddington, from where the boxes will be taken across London to Billingsgate Market.
With thanks to Reg Furniss for the route and to all providers of the stock (and inspired by the shots of WesternInvader).

Creepy...but really nice,one of my favorite routes!
