Description

Cornish Traction brings back memories of the railways of Cornwall, a region that has been preserved in a bygone era. Over the past forty years, the West Country network has seen significant changes, with modernisation schemes and new technologies introduced, but also the loss of traditional signalling systems. The book explores the history of traction on the Duchy of Cornwall's railways, from the demise of old locomotive classes to the introduction of newer models like the HSTs, Class 66s, and Voyagers. Despite these changes, journey times have remained relatively unchanged, largely due to the nature of the route. This book is a nostalgic look at the railways of Cornwall, shedding light on the region's unique railway heritage.
