RD21705A. UP DDA40X Do-Do. - a photo on Flickriver

RD21705A. Union Pacific Railroad DDA40X Do-Do on the late lamented 7¼ inch gauge Forest Railroad at Dobwalls near Liskeard in Cornwall, south west England.

The railway had two 7¼ inch gauge circuits with steep gradients, deep cuttings and tunnels. It was based on American practice with one circuit modelled on the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad and the other representing a small slice of the Union Pacific Railroad.

It was opened in 1970 but, very sadly, it all came to an end in 2006/7. This photo is a screenshot from a video I shot on a visit in August, 1989.
