Par for the Course

            It is spring 1984, and 50038 'Formidable' rolls into Par station with 1M85, the 0740 Penzance to Liverpool Lime Street.

Par is the nearest station to Carylon Bay golf course, a 72 par course which is situated on the clifftop overlooking St Austell Bay, and through which this train will just have passed.

Par is the branch station for the Newquay branch: the signal gantry on the right of the frame provides access onto the Newquay branch which curves off to the right.

In 2022 the signal box and manual signals survive, although the Newquay branch bracket signal has been disfigured by safety-related railings.

Photograph by the late Roger Siviter, now part of my collection.   Thanks to the RailgenArchive for information allowing me to identify the working.
