A friend moving from London to Hayle, gave me a copy from a rail magazine. Quite interesting shot of the old "Warship" Class engine.

"Hayle Wharves freight trips were a
well-known duty for ‘Warshlps’ in their final

with the Swindon-built Class 425. But, on

shunts chemical tanks at the town’s ICI
