6849 1958 Moorswater

6849 1958 Moorswater

Walton Grange on a down train from Plymouth taken off the footbridge, which is still in place. Taken after 2pm we would say by the shadows.

Possibly not too long from overhaul 6849 looks to be in fine condition in this view , with Moorswater Viaduct curving away to the left , a couple of the pillars of the original viaduct just being visible .
No less than 34 viaducts were necessary in order to span the various valleys between Saltash and Truro when the Cornwall Railway opened their line , and this one at Moorswater spans the valley of the East Looe River , with the branch line from Liskeard down to Looe running throughthe valley below.
